Last week I posted an analysis of how often various publications appeared during the first six weeks or so of active tracking on Metacurity, our new continuously updated resource on cybersecurity news and information. (For more on Metacurity and how we're selecting which articles and blog posts make the cut, see this post).
Now we turn to the actual journalists, bloggers, pundits and others who actually write the posts. As the table below shows, 128 writers appeared more than once in approximately 1,220 posts from March 29 through mid-day on May 6 (links are to the writers' Twitter profiles, where they could be found).
Topping the list is Darren Pauli from The Register, not a surprise given that The Register also topped our list of publications, focused as it is on the nitty-gritty of IT technology. In fact, the vast majority of writers who top the list below are focused almost exclusively on matters related to information security -- again no surprise.
A word of caution though: quantity does not necessarily equal quality. Many of the top writers working in the field appear lower down on the list presumably because they are not pressured to fill the hole each day and are given some latitude to spend time on bigger pieces or on related beats, such as privacy and national security.
In addition, some excellent writers are working for publications that put content behind paywalls and are not reflected here (Politico is the exception because some Politico pieces are available without paid subscriptions).
I was surprised at the amount of feedback I received on the first post detailing the publications by the numbers and welcome again feedback on this list. As Metacurity evolves we will be adding additional publications, bloggers and sources and new features that make the site a more dynamic resource for cybersecurity news and information. Give us your feedback on the sources we rely upon and what additional information we should be incorporating into our system.
