The sources and main audience for financial journalism tend to need to 
talk about technical trade and professional things that they don't know 
or work closely with.

Their jargon-forming mechanism might easily misapprehend or abstract the 
IT<--digital relationship you described, and end up with digital==IT. It 
suffices for their purposes, but doesn't communicate in the live IT 
Support setting.

Thanks,
