A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've experienced 1 first-hand. They call you and leave a voicemail. If you don't respond within 24 hours they're going to publish anyway and probably get a lot of things wrong.

I hear PR companies will basically write for the journalists on request, and sometimes journalists will take it just to get ahead.
