Continuing our series of video interviews, we were joined by Nicholas Fearn, a freelance technology journalist who has written for the Financial Times, Business Insider and many other leading publications.

In this first part of our conversation, Nicholas reflects on his journey into journalism and the topics that shape his reporting today, from cybersecurity and AI to mental health, autism awareness and the human impact of technology.

In this video, he discusses:

1. How early personal experiences shaped his career path and his approach to storytelling in the B2B tech world
2. Why he focuses on uncovering real business impact behind AI, cybersecurity and automation rather than chasing buzzwords
3. How lived experience with autism and mental health informs the way he evaluates technology
4. The shift in writing style required when moving between specialist B2B outlets and mainstream newspapers – and what that means for PRs pitching stories
