Importance of Tech Journalism and The Role of Tech24
Technology journalism plays an important role in the rapidly changing world of technology.

How We Started?
How a group of tech journalists from different news organizations came together to form a writing group?
In 2010, with technology advancements and innovations happening at a rapid pace, tech journalists from various media outlets realized the need to provide their readers with more in-depth and accurate information. Due to limited space and time, traditional media outlets were limited in their ability to provide in-depth analysis and fast, up-to-date information on technology. To solve this problem, tech journalists from different media outlets came together to form a writing group, which was the beginning of Tech24.
Initial Goals and Vision
The initial goal of Tech24 was to provide technology-related content that could be understood not only by technology enthusiasts and professionals, but also by general readers. The idea was to democratize technology knowledge and make it easier for readers to stay abreast of the latest technology trends. Tech24’s vision was to help readers better understand technological innovations through the provision of reliable information, and to contribute to creating social value through technological advancements.
