    These articles are written by the subjects. I used to think they had to at least take the journalists out to a nice lunch or something, but in fact there are no actual journalists involved. Sad

      The media takes a press release, signs off on it and releases it usually word for word a lot. They’ll put their name and brand on it, but that’s a honest to goodness press release.

      This article might be a blend, strange that at least on mobile I can’t find an author for this one.
