Journalists on Independence, Platforms & Access
Kick off spring with an essential conversation about the future of tech media!
Join Axicom & PRSA-San Francisco for an evening of candid insight as we bring together local tech media voices to discuss how the media landscape is shifting in real time & what it means for communicators.
San Francisco sits at the center of the tech universe, & the journalists covering this beat are navigating unprecedented change: the rise of independent media & Substack newsletters, the shift to podcasts & video content, & new expectations around credibility & access. From legacy newsrooms like The Financial Times to emerging indie platforms like TechVoices, each voice at the table brings a unique perspective on what content means in 2026.
Whether you're pitching a startup, positioning an enterprise client, or building media relationships in a fragmented landscape, this panel gives you practical insight into what journalists value, how their roles are changing, & how PR professionals can show up as better partners, including at the events that are becoming key touchpoints for both sides. You'll hear directly from reporters about their beats, their platform choices, & what makes a pitch (or an event) worth their time.
