I guess we'll never be fully rid of industry bought puff pieces but to put this in the "World" section is absurd.

- dylan604 1y agosome people read HN in their free time. this person has decided to draw pubs in her free time. i don't see her making shit posts about how you choose to use your free time. if it were not for this article, I'd never have known that someone was trying to draw by hand every single pub in London. so it was successful in delivering news to me
- timewizard 1y agoOther than purchasing her work how will this news be put to use by you? Were the resources of the New York Times well invested by procuring this news? How do you suppose they "got the scoop?"
- dylan604 1y agoWho cares about it being a scoop or how they sourced it. The information came to me by them. Where did you get the notion that any of this is the sole purpose of a news organization? You know that the newspaper had other sections in it that, wait for it, wasn't news, right? They had lifestyle sections. They had sports sections. They even had comics. None of that was news as whatever your strict definition seems to be, but it was information that people were interested in knowing. Maybe you don't. Great. Move along and stop trying to ruin it for everyone else just because you don't get it.
- tomcam 1y agoAh what is the industry? Big Pub?
