About Techblog
TechBlog was created by IT Professionals NZ to create a home for the latest news, views and other information about tech and the IT industry in New Zealand.
TechBlog is unique because:
- It unashamedly focuses only on what's happening within, and of interest to, the IT profession.
- It has a professional editor in Paul Brislen and professional journo in Sarah Putt, both with extensive tech journalism experience.
- It is written by tech people, for tech people. TechBlog is collaboratively produced and has many authors from across the tech sector.
- As well as editors and regular contributors, it includes frequent articles and opinions from key leaders in all areas of IT, from government Ministers through to those at the coalface.
- It is also sent in a weekly digest form (called Newsline) to many thousands of IT Professionals across New Zealand.
- It is operated by IT Professionals NZ, New Zealand's independent professional body for those working and studying in IT.
