TechDaily Shutting Down

by on December 13, 2007 · 4 comments

Via the 463, a great tech policy publication, National Journal’s Tech Daily, will be shutting down.

This is a loss, but it also represents progress. TechDaily was a subscription service that was quite expensive – more than a thousand dollars per year. (It won’t matter now if I reveal this to any TechDaily reporters, right? . . .) I long ago switched to TechLawJournal, coming in at $250 a year for reporting that serves my needs well. (TLJ reporter David Carney is a machine, people!) And, of course, there are dozens of resources that are completely free.

So, sayonara, TechDaily, and thank you.

    That really is a shame. Very high quality tech reporting. It will be missed. The free alternatives just don’t offer everything that NJTD does.

    TLJ has a fantastic calendar for keeping tabs on the tech community but its reporting of “news” is weak, sparse and quite frequently delayed by a few days. Tech Daily might have been pricey, but many felt they got their money’s worth.
