For virtually his entire career, Steve Jobs had always trusted Walt Mossberg, one of the few tech journalists still in business. He currently works with the executive editor of The Verge and Recode, but his beginnings date back to 1991, when he wrote the Personal Technology column in the Wall Street Journal.
Since its inception, Mossberg has collaborated on different podcasts and has made a large number of conferences and publications. Among his personal achievements we not only find being almost the right hand of Steve Jobs, who asked him for advice many times, but he has also been one of the two journalists who have managed to bring together Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in an interview.
In this joint interview, which took place in 2007, one of the few in which Steve Jobs was almost completely out of his comfort zone, Apple's CEO ended the interview by citing the Beatles to discover his relationship with Gates.
Mossberg claims to have made this decision after having thought a lot about his retirement, a thought that came a few months ago that after commenting with his wife, family and closest friends, he decided to take it, so we can download that it is due to some kind of illness, simply affirm that it is the right time to do it.
Mossberg assures that he will continue writing sporadically, will collaborate with programs, TV programs and podcast until the month of June, when he will retire permanently. Tech journalism, he says, has changed a lot since 1991, thanks to the Internet's ability to serve niches and the explosion in popularity of the tech industry in general.
