I don’t think the parent is arguing for a blockchain one journalism, just that outlets claiming to be “news” should own their mistakes if they want to retain credibility.
- pdntspa 4y agoI think GGP is conflating "we commissioned an article from an established journalist" with the article being "news". Adtorials, or whatever they're called, have been quite the thing lately and I don't see how this is any different, except inverted. Since Sequoia isn't a news agency, its article is private corporate speech. And with the remarks about establishing trust in the crypto space, it seems to imply that either press release or adtorial-type stuff, or all private speech in the space, shouldn't be deletable.
- scott_w 4y agoYou’re right, it’s not a news agency, however it is masquerading as one to try and increase their legitimacy. It’s reasonable to criticise their behaviour.
