Caroline Nihill, reporter at IT Brew covering cybersecurity and IT strategy, joins Larissa Padden to discuss her unconventional path from fashion writing to tech journalism and her firm stance against using AI in her reporting. Caroline reveals why she believes the most effective pitches focus on expertise over product launches, and how she finds unique story angles that resonate with human readers.
