Generally Arrington hasn't been respected by the journalists I've met. He covers companies and fields he has a direct financial interest in, he's OK with posting rumor and innuendo, and he can be sensationalist. The first one is a big problem, the others are mostly style things. Faking photos like http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/27/cal-to-offer-course-in-advanced-starcraft-theory/ http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/27/cal-to-offer-course-in-... is totally uncool.
(I'm not speaking here about my coworkers, or my employer, or my employer's content-sharing agreement with TC.)
- smhinsey 18y agoSounds like we might work for the same news organization with a content sharing agreement with TC. I was appalled/not surprised at all when that happened.
- Harkins 18y agoI wasn't trying to keep it secret; I've just already mentioned in other comments that I work at the Washington Post. Most of what I was relating I've heard from other journalists I've met, I just haven't really talked to any coworkers about Arrington/TC.
- smhinsey 18y agoAre you in DC? I'm in the Arlington office for the time being.
