Im so glad im no longer on there
A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter
What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?
You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.
Was this corporate spokesperson authorized to talk to this outlet about this topic? Just because they’re a spokesperson doesn’t mean they can talk freely.
Even though it’s a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn’t have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it…
In journalism, a source is a person, publication, or knowledge of other record or document that gives timely information. Outside journalism, sources are sometimes known as “news sources”. Examples of sources include official records, publications or broadcasts, officials in government or business, organizations or corporations, witnesses of crime, accidents or other events, and people involved with or affected by a news event or issue.
That’s not what they do according to their own ethics statement
Uhh, isn’t that kinda against the whole point of being a spokesperson in the first place? To put a name and a face behind a message?
Dunno why The Verge plays along.
Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what’s happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc…
“All I said was ‘that piece of halibut was good enough for luigi’”
“BLASPHEMY”
“Luigi, luigi, luigi”
Luigi is a hero.
See how easy that is when you aren’t given the table scraps of the rich?
Dunno why. I’m just talking about the guy who fights ghouls who live in mansions.
Fight is violence, no? So you’re banned! Please, don’t write anything. Because you’re banned and that’s how ban works :)
So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?
