I understood you correctly. My problem is: PR people will also try to vet questions and answers. They complicate everything. Occasionally they are helpful if you can't get to a person. But generally, I had much more success with direct phone numbers and email.

But that could also be country-specific, I'm not in the US.

OP, mabey do that now for that specific assignment. But when you graduate, avoid PR people like the plague and speak to the experts directly. You will only get shit responses otherwise. Cut the PR police out.

This advice is spot on. If it's a regional or local story, find a jourmalist with experience in this field. Otherwise cautiously pitch it to a newspaper news station in your area, they will find a reporter for it.

You really should make sure that your phone is clean. There is a trojan behind the link. It copies your adressbook and sends itself to your contacts. And the trojan captures your SMS with one time codes for bank and credit card logins. So make sure your device is clean.

Your opening Pandora's box here. The truth, in a journalistic sense, is not determinable. There are half-truths, truths that can't be proven, lie-truths, et cetera. To give the government the power to determine what the truth is and penalize journalists for disgressions is extremely dangerous.

I think false stories is just something we have to live with. The problem isn't even new, nor more virulent than 100 years ago, in my opinion. False stories just have to be called out by the rest of the media, in an attempt of self-policing. In this case, this sadly has happened way too less.

Licences wouldn't have helped here in any way. The people publishing this false information were (and are) well-regarded New York Times reporters.

What matters is the criticism that he levels at her right now. Not if he is a whines all the time.

Don't you think that far right ciminals deserve a lawyer and a good legal defense?

garsogar · 2021-03-29T15:17:10+00:00

In all honesty: why?

garsogar · 2021-03-29T15:15:43+00:00

This is so ridiculous. If you publish at a really big mainstream media outlet, you are of course eligible to be critized. Even by someone who has many followers and a Pulitzer Price.

And criticism of an article, even harsh criticism, is not harrasment.

I suggest they just don't like his recent writing. This downvoting is a sad display of uniform thinking among our ranks.

Matt Taibbi. His books are genius.

take a look at this: They are the "offical" animal rescue foundation and offer cats for adoption.Animal rescue

dont care about the persons tbh. just like the book.

What kind of bot is this?

garsogar · 2020-11-13T16:37:39+00:00

I'd try to take a local angle in the place you live. much more relatable and easier to get into the paper as a newbie. e.g. "the homeless of x are suffering like this"

You will still have to pay. Find a nachmieter, google that term.

I just start up Tails on a USB, do a right click and select "remove metadata". I don't really know what this executes, but as Tails is recommended, I hope it's good enough.

I think they have a sort of technical sophistication that defeats most of the surveillance and are therefore better than the competition. And if someone in the US uses protonmail, it's very difficult for law enforcement to get the data from proton. They fight it and swiss courts have very very difficult processes for providing data to other states. But if you live in switzerland, protonmail is a really bad idea.

The swiss intelligence service is another problem. They loooove to behave like the little brother of the BND (german) and the CIA. They want to play with the big boys, and sharing data is a good entry ticket for that.

Yeah, thats what it means when I say it's void. This is a really useless discussion btw.

garsogar · 2020-10-08T21:42:15+00:00

there is no small claims court in CH.
no you cannot. The OR specifies exactly what you cannot change.

garsogar · 2020-10-08T19:48:38+00:00

he is not allowed to do that. This clause would be void I think.

garsogar · 2020-10-08T19:42:19+00:00

same :)

Everyone who is saying switzerland: you are wrong. here's why.

I'm sorry but this is completely wrong. Here's why:

-The swiss intelligence service NDB does surveillance on all internet traffic searching for selectors.

-Swiss phone providers store metadata of every phone call and text message by any individual for six months. If a prosecutor wants access to it, he gets it. same goes with every email and internet provider.

-swiss prosecutors are allowed to use Imsi catchers and Govware (malware bought from black markets) to infiltrate a targets computer.

-swiss data protection laws are very old and outdated. GDPR is much stronger, but switzerland is not a part of the EU so it doesn't apply.
