Journalism needs technologists for three main reasons: 1) The history of journalism has been shaped by changes in distribution, logistics, and branding determined by technology. 2) Storytelling structures in journalism have been determined by the technology of the medium used. 3) Technologists can help journalists in many ways like fact checking, data analysis, protecting sources, enhancing brands, and collaborating on storytelling.
