Tech Journalism Is Less Diverse Than Tech
Tech human resources, legal, and recruiting are overwhelmingly white women, to wit no one cares.  Truck drivers are 94% men, no one complains about that.  The business and political community is hyperfocused on software engineering jobs for two reasons.  Corporations want political support for H1-B.  And, in some cases, STEM workers have high importance in influencing the political world as we saw with Facebook in the 2016 elections.  Therefore, the political world is hyper-focused on those specific jobs to hire people that they think are sympathetic to their political parties, usually along race and gender lines.
