Initial plan

I have worked out a plan of action that I will follow to solve the task.

Step 1

First, I'll search for lists of top technology reporters to get an initial set of names. This will give me a starting point for my research.

Step 2

This search gave me a good starting point with several lists of top technology journalists. Now I'll check some of these links in detail to gather information about these journalists. I'll start with the first link which mentions "Top 10 Tech Journalists You Should Follow in 2025".

Step 3

This page provides information on several top tech journalists, but it doesn't contain all the information I need (and seems to only show the first part of the article). Let me continue by paginating down to see more journalists from this list.

Step 4

Now I have information on several tech journalists from the first article. Let me next check the article about AI journalists and reporters to get more diverse information. This was the second link from our initial search.

Updated plan

I have updated my plan of action based on the new information I have gathered.

Step 5

Let me continue by scrolling down on the AI journalists page to gather more information on AI-focused tech reporters.

Step 6

Let me continue gathering information from the AI journalists page.

Step 7

Now I've gathered a good amount of information about AI-focused tech journalists, but I'm still missing cybersecurity specialists and journalists from other major tech publications. Let me search for cybersecurity journalists next.

Step 8

I apologize for the error. Let me try the search for cybersecurity journalists again with a proper query.

Updated Plan

I have updated my plan of action based on the new information I have gathered.

Step 9

I'll continue by gathering more information about cybersecurity journalists from one of the promising links in the search results.

Step 10

Let me continue reading the article by paginating down.

Step 11

Now I'll search for more information about blockchain and cryptocurrency tech journalists to cover that area.

Step 12

Let me explore more about the cryptocurrency journalists mentioned in the search results. I'll first check the article on the top 7 crypto journalists.
