In the crowded media world of technology coverage there are a handful of journalists who the public, general media and business world look to for the industry's latest trends and new products. When these reporters write on a subject or service they validate it as needing to be explored further. Each week, hundreds of thousands of readers tune in to what they have to say.

So, how do they decide what warrants coverage? What topics do they see on the horizon? What kind of responsibility do they feel to educate businesses and the public? How did they get where they are today to have their ideas and opinions sought after in the marketplace? These questions and more will be discussed in an interactive, moderated discussion.
