I’m always looking for variations in trending stories across the government tech media landscape, but sometimes it’s unavoidable that the same topics attract the most interest from one week to the next. In this case, the war with Iran grabbed lots of headlines this week – just as it did last week. But in a […]
Here’s a change of pace from previous weeks: One of the big trends this week in the government tech media was a focus on healthcare technology in government – not to mention a widely-reported cyber attack on a medical device company that many reporters tied to the U.S. military action in Iran.

This time, there were quite a few pieces on remarks from the Information Technology Industry Council’s Intersect policy summit, as well as the Miami […]
