Tech: TechCrunch proves that tech gossip blogs have ethics, too

  • In some way or another, a line was crossed that should have never been. At this time, I do not want to go into details, but I will pub­licly say that I am truly sorry to my fam­ily, friends, TechCrunch, and espe­cially the tech community.
  • For­mer TechCrunch writer Daniel Brusilovsky • Regard­ing an eth­i­cal error he made as an intern for the site. TechCrunch reports (in an apol­ogy) that Brusilovsky report­edly tried to barter cov­er­age on TechCrunch on mul­ti­ple occa­sions, which is a def­i­nite no-no when it comes to jour­nal­is­tic behav­ior. TechCrunch chose not to reveal his name at first due to his age, but Brusilovsky apol­o­gized for the mat­ter him­self. Good idea. source
 
  • I think the "some way or another" was the bit about selling coverage. Someone should tell him.
