Wait, what? Scott Kirsner just wrote his last column for The Boston Globe??? For those of you connected to the Boston tech scene, you know what a force he is. When I started my reporting career in Boston, Scott showed me that to cover tech companies and the people who run them well, you have to get up from your desk—meet people for coffee, go to people's offices/warehouses/labs, become a familiar face at conferences and events. He was always so "plugged in," and I wanted to emulate that style in my reporting process, too. Boston is really lucky for Scott's longtime coverage of companies like TripAdvisor, HubSpot, iRobot, the startup/VC scene, and the impact of institutions like MIT. I've always admired his ability to cover innovation with a healthy dose of reality. Check out his last column, in which he reflects on the past 25 years: https://lnkd.in/gPVJAcWC
I can’t stand it!
Totally agree, I'm shocked that Scott is done with the Globe! What a great guy, very insightful
Wow, an era comes to an end! Those are some big shoes to fill
A must read in the Globe no matter what the topic!
Whoa - I totally missed this. Scott Kirsner penning ink at Boston Globe Media for quarter century?? No way. Last article???? Just noooooooo!!!!
Paywall Lol which is why I have not read an article by Scott in 20 years
He is one of the tech and business journalists who was always well informed and insightful. You could trust his opinion and reporting.
