Her specialty is in the tech news field.</p> <p>Nirit is the author of the book “The Techlash and Tech Crisis Communication”. &nbsp;This book provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of tech journalism.

How did tech companies respond to the rise of tech criticism? &nbsp;The book can be purchased here - <a href="https://amzn.to/34jJ7YH" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><u>https://amzn.to/34jJ7YH.</u></a></p> <p>You can read Dr Nirit Weiss-Blatt's blog here - <a href="http://www.weiss-blatt.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><u>www.weiss-blatt.blogspot.com</u></a>.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/businessbookshelf/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/businessbookshelf/support</a>
