As someone who spends a lot of time writing, I want to grab this writer by the lapels and shout at him. The entire article amounts to a confession that his authorship adds no value! If his unique voice, his writing skill, his experience, all the things that go into his authorship, are less important than the word Exclusive in the headline or the temporal positioning of the article, then he's a shitty writer. A press release is a commodity, its marginal value is very low. A good writer adds something to an account of facts that you cannot get elsewhere, and that's what makes their authorship valuable. For examples, see Seth Godin, who is absolutely stellar on this topic. This TechCrunch guy has revealed that he's just a stenographer, just a copyist. I have no sympathy for him. He needs to become a better writer - and that involves hard work, which he seems curiously averse to.
