Newstips Bulletin

The glorious changing seasons of news

With news organizations showing healthier balance sheets, we foresee a slow but steady recovery in the business of reporting - never the same as before the crash, but less onerous than recent years.

And these next few months to and through the holidays and CES will be huge for personal, consumer & computer tech.

A little less economic panic in the newsroom gives us all a little more optimism for what lies ahead. At the companies we cover, a renewed commitment to innovation is behind a slate of exciting new products. We're not there yet, but we're heading back to the kind of fun that was always part of this ball game.

We're making more editorial calls on more subjects that relate to tech for improving personal productivity in any workspace, office or home. As always, we're chasing down what's hot and what's cool - what's brilliant and what's foolish - and presenting that as content in our weekly Newstips Bulletin.

All of our readers are other journalists, so we try to beat them to the bushes and flag the great coverage candidates.

Vendors are welcome to suggest their own products for consideration and even more welcome to invite a chat about becoming a sponsoring client

How Newstips can help

For press people We're adding to the kinds of help we can give you. And it's all still free. We have details for print, radio and TV people on the main page in our For Press section. These are all responsive services, meaning you don't hear from us until we hear from you. Because the last thing any of us needs is more junk we don't ask for being thrown at us. Our focus is on shortcuts we  can offer you because of what we know or who we know. That includes our own background briefings on the tech or the market, plugging you into authorities when you need a quote, helping you find contacts at companies, helping get info or photos or products into your hands, etc. Pop into our For Press section for details. If you don't already get the weekly Newstips Bulletin by e-mail, info galore is here.   About the weekly Newstips Bulletin We've been journalists reaching journalists for almost 30 years Our unique combination of unsponsored independent enterprise journalism with sponsored items about important or soon-to-be important products has kept us a significant presence both for our readers (all in the press) and for the product vendor community. There's a more complete description here of the Newstips Bulletin, info here for press people who want to subscribe, info here for product people interested in becoming sponsoring clients, and back issues here for anybody who wants to see what it looks like.   For product people We can also help vendors. And some of that help is free. Few product people truly understand the extent to which the product coverage environment has changed. In our experience, even fewer of their PR agency people understand it. (Our Press Tectonics briefing tries to address that; click here to see it). It wouldn't do you much good to just wring our hands over how bad things have become. We have answers. Some of them are free, starting with some of the info on the main page in our For Vendors section. You can also help yourself (for free) by taking us up on the offer we make there to share your up-to-date contact and product info with us. We also have ways for some products to open up the road to retail, to gain major coverage outside the press channels and more. How can we help you?
