Where Does a Writer Go for Reliable Tech & Publishing Industry Info?

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

I get asked this question a lot. There is so much information out there—and most of it incorrect or at least misleading—that we’re all afraid to just ask Google for help. So today I’m going to share some of the places I got to get information and verify the information I get. 

Tech Info

The Current, Powered by Kim Komando. Hands down, my favorite newsletter for all things tech, come out daily from Kim Komando. I love her insight on what’s happening in the tech world for several reasons:

• It’s not political
• It is up-to-date and easy to understand
• It’s funny
• It is free

General Online Misinformation

Snopes.com. If you see something online, even on social media, that you’re uncertain if is true or not, I highly recommend visiting this site.

These are my basic go-to places to navigate the online world. I trust each of them, although no one and no site is one hundred percent accurate all the time.
