I don't really understand the thinking behind this one?
"Do we refuse to cover some startups when they don’t want to give a story to us exclusively? Sometimes."
Surely if a startup is worth covering, they're worth covering regardless of the the competition?
To me this is the crux of ArticStartup's post, and I really don't understand why Techcrunch would say to a startup "If you speak to Mashable (or whoever) forget about coverage from us".
- robinwauters 15y agoThat's not really what I meant. We sift through hundreds of pitches every day, and only some are interesting. Of those, we'll go with the one that agrees to an exclusive, given a choice, it's that simple. And again, nothing prevents us from covering startups later.
