29 July 2025. Welcome to TechNewsLit Explores, occasional ideas on the state of news and media. This blog continues the essay series posted on the Technology News and Literature web site at technewslit.com/explores starting in May 2024.

TechNewsLit Explores seeks to offer guidance for surviving and navigating today's flood of content served up by online news and social media. Much of the advice here is based on practices I've developed over the years, to keep myself well-informed while maintaining a semblance of sanity.

If you find my experiences helpful, that's great. If not, you're free to find your own way. I won't be insulted.

Please note, I put a premium on clarity and brevity. I value my time, so I assume you do too.

About Alan Kotok

I'm a journalist since 2003, first as managing editor of the Careers section at Science magazine, where I also did some first-hand reporting. Beginning in mid-2010, I began publishing Science & Enterprise, a daily report on the intersection of business and science, six days a week through 2023.

At Science Careers, I was responsible for art and photography, which led to my still-growing interest in visual storytelling. Since 2019, I've been photography chair at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and I contribute images to the Alamy photo agency in London.
