Looking for Tech News? These 8 News Sites Will Keep You Updated.

From time to time, an industry or subject inspires us to create a best-of list. In case you’ve missed some of these, you can find them here. In our latest roundup, we’re recognizing a few technology news sites that we love. If you think your site should be considered, give us a holler and tell us why.

We are surrounded by technology.

From gadgets to artificial intelligence, biotech, connected vehicles, blockchain, and space travel, technology plays a part in just about every industry. And it’s involved across the news industry, as 86% of American adults get at least some of their news via digital devices.

“The only constant in the technology industry is change,” said Marc Benioff, co-CEO of Salesforce. That makes it a full-time job keeping up with the fast-moving world of tech. And even though CES 2023 has ended, tech reporters keep going and continue producing must-read stories throughout the year.

Below are several tech news sites – in no particular order – that readers trust to keep them informed of the latest news.
