Editor's Notes

Aaaaaaand we're back! Hi, Baltimore.

 

If you skipped reading the news over your own holiday break, look to Technical.ly's overview of three big stories that will continue to dominate headlines in the new year: COVID-19 vaccine rollout plans, economic relief funding and the SolarWinds cyberattack. Re: relief, be sure to check out new funds available for Maryland tech companies.

 

You can also check out our fresh-outta-the-digital-oven 2021 editorial calendar, which will dictate a portion of our coverage over the next 12 months. First up this January, we're asking: What's next for the economy, as Joe Biden prepares for Inauguration Day and Americans start to see $600 stimulus checks hit their bank accounts?

 

And ICYMI: Look back on 2020 once more with this recap of how Technical.ly covered the year's challenges, from pandemic pivots to racial equity commitments, as well as the changes we'll be making as a newsroom in 2021.
