"...as more and more ads are placed on our site"
Maybe I'm jaded into believing there really is no such thing as "objective reporting" anymore, seems everyone has a conflict of interest or 3 these days.
- mrkurt 18y agoThe good publications work very hard to firewall content production and ad sales. Having watched this process in a few "good publications", I think it can work pretty well.
- kaiserama 18y agoI agree with your statement in principle, the problem arises when there may be warranted negative publicity involving one of their paid advertisers. Obviously as a business owner you don't want to jeopardize your source of income, but as a "journalist" are you really staying true to mission to be objective? And thus...a conflict of interest is born. Cheers!
