This is also true of TV news. Last century, my cousin produced local tv news. They did a consumer report "lease or buy your next car" and the conclusion "buy". This did not sit will with the advertisers and my cousin was called into meetings.
Also this year the art non-profit I work for submitted a story to a free paper and it was published. It was more of a "here is an event thats happening", piece but still gives me a little pause.

- acomjean 8y agokind of a press release but there most press releases I've seem come with a comment on the bottom that it is a press release with contact info of the press person. I know the person went back and forth with the paper's editor about how to improve the story. In some ways we were just providing free content.
