Why Oh Why Can't We Have a Better Press Corps?: Miguel Helft and Jessi Hempel of Fortune Edition
Daring Fireball:
‘A Tech Blog’: From a Fortune magazine cover story by Miguel Helft and Jessi Hempel:
Consider this: In October a tech blog reported that several top Google officials, including Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman, had not even set up their own accounts on Google+. A few days later Schmidt’s account quietly appeared on the site.
That would be Michael DeGusta, who reported this on his weblog The Understatement in early October. Fortune doesn’t credit DeGusta by name, refers to his website only as “a tech blog”, and doesn’t even have the courtesy to include a link. Shameless.
Henceforth, Fortune is “some business magazine”.
