Please don't distort the meaning of words. PR "submarine" pieces are a very real thing, but they are exactly what the phrase suggests — an article put out by a corporate PR department for publication.
This was literally an interview by a real reporter, edited into an article. You might not like that the interviewer wasn't antagonistic (let's be real — most aren't!), but this is not a "PR submarine piece" by any sane definition of the phrase.
- travoc 5y agoReprinting a single person’s viewpoints without critique or counterpoint isn’t news or “real reporting.” It’s still just a PR piece.
- neolog 5y agoThat's true but parent is complaining about the use of "submarine", which I agree isn't an accurate description.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoWould you argue that any interview without an interview of a contra opinion is also just a PR piece?
- voakbasda 5y agoUnbalanced reporting is biased? Yes, it is.
