- fdschoeneman 4y agoYou're right. I either missed it or the disclaimer was added after I first read the piece. I think I'd have preferred it be up front in the first paragraph, and that the writer used language making it clear he was talking about his own company and not NPR as an entity he was able to be objective about. That's what I'd have done.
- kenjackson 4y agoI'm not sure what you meant about the language to use -- but I do agree that I'd prefer to see disclosures upfront. I know that most NPR podcasts, for example, state the disclosure at the start of the podcast. Because honestly, I probably only finish about half of the articles I start -- I know, that's my fault.
- fdschoeneman 4y agoI mean by language some difference in words or voice. For example, instead of describing what NPR's chief executive did, the author could have written about what his boss did.
