Oddbean new post about login | logout A reporter emailed at 5 pm on Friday requesting a comment for their article. They gave 3 hours to respond before publishing. I honestly don't know why you'd even bother reaching out unless you wanted to be able to disingenuously print "he didn't respond when asked for comment."
Wow that is such bad faith 🤦♀️
Lol
I've heard of them doing this so many times. It seems like they just want to write the article without doing any work to talk to people
Poor practice. But just curious what is a reasonable minimum amount of time?
At least 24 hours in my opinion. Certainly not 3 hours on a Friday.
And that's just for a chance to respond/setup a different time to discuss it. Of course, this my answers are from my own perspective and what I would consider ethical in that position. Not everyone shares my ethics in that field. Most are scumbags now, in my opinion.
I've seen others fall prey to this scumbag tactic. nostr:nevent1qqs8485460jvxflrklnkd3v8axagj68txng033tmz7p9p64z0gpmggspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qgs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpsrqsqqqqqprk90re
They do all the time in smear articles
there are very few "real" journalists. opinion for hire is our Fiat reporting. I'll typically unfollow any zine that publishes hit pieces... I'm not doing a lot of reading these days 😔
If your life depends on me responding to an email within three hours, I hope you're right with Jesus Christ. 🤣 nostr:note1020ft5lycvn78dl8vmzc06d6395wkdxslrzhk9uz2r42y7srks3qcymsd5
