The Top Journalists Covering Artificial Intelligence In 2026

Last Updated: 8th April 2026

This one is for Marketing and Comms leads at AI companies and builds on the list we published last year.

Our latest analysis of top journalists writing about AI topics right now. Some have an official beat dedicated to AI, others cover it as part of their tech-focused coverage. Either way, as AI is now the new Digital Transformation, it touches every company now in some way, and subsequently means the top journalists hail from a number of different backgrounds. Unlike in other lists, we're also seeing the rise of new media here too, with substackers and new media founders among the most prolific.
