But seriously, how do you buy a post on tech crunch? Well maybe not TC, but I'm under the impression that articles and even news posts are for sale, albeit not so directly. I know a woman who does interior design in north east (very small no employees) and got feature in Australian Vogue. Surely there is no vogue editor in Australia scouring the suburbs of NY to find a rising star in the interior design world. Googling around I see claims you can buy a non US vogue feature for around 20k. Are these scams as well? Is there a PR agency that could get me on NYT? Lets be honest, a lot of their articles are written as ads anyway

These are called "Sponsored Articles" and they're very common in industry-specific publications. For general business, Forbes[1] pivoted this direction a few years ago, and this is the entire raison d'etre of CIO Magazine & cio.com. It's like charging people to create LinkedIn/blog posts with the benefit being distribution to eyeballs.
