Is It Just for Show or Are We Making Any Change: Nitasha Tiku Unplugged




Black Tech Unplugged show

Summary: Not many know about the world of tech culture reporting, so I decided to dive deep into that world. On this episode of Black Tech Unplugged I interview Nitasha Tiku, tech culture reporter for the Washington Post. We go deep on her latest article for the Washington Post titled "Google's approach to historically Black schools helps explain why there are few Black engineers in Big Tech". You don't want to miss us getting down into the nitty gritty details of what went wrong (and right) with Google's partnership with HBCU's. Nitasha also shares how you can become a tech culture reporter (it's a little easier than you think) and *surprise* the lack of diversity in her field. She even offers to link with listeners who are interested in trying to become a tech culture report so use the links below to connect with Nitasha: Email: nitashatiku@washpost.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/nitashatiku Signal: 917-318-7531 Most importantly go read full show notes with links to her articles and the people mentioned in today's episode on https://blacktechunplugged.com/2021/03/11/ep-043-nitasha-tiku-unplugged/. ————————————————————————- Stay Connected with Black Tech Unplugged: Twitter: twitter.com/blktechunplged Instagram: instagram.com/blacktechunplugged Facebook: facebook.com/blacktechunplugged Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/blacktechunplugged Email: blacktechunplugged@gmail.com ————————————————————————- Use the hashtag #BlackTechUnplugged on IG & Twitter to discuss this & other episodes!
