Dear Colleagues,

As members of the media and blogging community, we have the privilege — and responsibility — of shaping how stories in the tech industry are shared with the world. Media briefings and press events are crucial platforms for gaining insights and updates that are both timely and valuable to our audiences. However, it’s time we collectively address a growing concern: the quality and relevance of questions asked during these events.

Let’s be blunt. Time is of the essence during these briefings. Everyone is there for the same reason: to learn, to get accurate information, and to walk away with a better understanding of the topic at hand. Yet, all too often, these sessions are derailed by irrelevant anecdotes, personal stories, or questions that lack clarity.
