Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism released a study today examining the media's ambivalent approach to addressing technology finding that, among other things, the positive effects of technology on productivity just barely edge out privacy concerns as the most common theme in technology coverage. According to Pew, the research suggests that "the press reflects exuberance about gadgets and a wonder about the corporations behind them, but wariness about effects on our lives, our behavior and the sociology of the digital age." Sponsor The most common theme in technology coverage, that "technology is making life easier and more productive", comprised nearly a quarter of stories, with privacy coming in at a close second, making up a fifth of stories. Beyond general themes, the report finds that Apple dominates tech news, with the company accounting for 15% of stories.
