They're not hiding anything and it's not a game. They have a policy that it's the quality of what's written, not the credentials of the writer, that matters. If the quality of the writing is such that the image projected is one of super experienced, highly credentialed writers, while in fact it's written by someone who not, that's surely a good thing?
- ygaf 10y agoIt depends what you mean by quality. The perceived image of writers doesn't come from what they say, but how they say it along with with the status they start off with (e.g. it's the Economist). Readers don't scrutinize anything that they already agree with, and as far as the linked article is concerned, some don't even qualify as readers.
