Macs and Business Writers
I’ve always enjoyed John Dvorak’s column, ever since I started reading him in InfoWorld in the early 80’s. For the last 20 years, he has been a columnist for PC Magazine and also a very popular speaker and writer for many other publications.
This week, John’s column is about the pervasive but rarely acknowledged Mac bias in the business press. I knew that there were a lot of Mac bigots in the newspaper world, but I had no idea that writers for publications like Forbes and Fortune are overwhelmingly Mac-based. Given that the majority of their readers are Windows users, one has to wonder how this disconnect affects the quality of the advice and information that gets published on technology topics. Doesn’t one?
