Calling it "reporting" is a stretch. It's a blog post.

  You know who Steven Levy is, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Levy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Levy And in his own words (https://medium.com/@stevenlevy/im-moving-to-medium-6869c0e3262c https://medium.com/@stevenlevy/im-moving-to-medium-6869c0e32...), he was hired by Medium to "establish a tech hub that strives to bring well-reported, lively, and meaningful reporting and writing to what is already shaping up as a terrific platform for the written word."

    Whoops, no I didn't. But that just makes this PR piece even more embarrassing.

    I agree the article is favorable to Yahoo, but it strikes me as likely that the author conducted interviews, reviewed the facts, and wrote what he thought was the truth. Some folks on this thread may disagree with his conclusions, but that by itself does not make it bad journalism. Disclaimer: Steven is a friend, occasionally a competitor (before I left to found Recent.io), and someone who once approached me to work with him.
