There ought to be more awareness and communication on both sides [business and journalism], so that decisions can be made with full knowledge of the financial and journalistic impacts.

Statements like this suggest to my mind that we're in a new gilded age, where journalism becomes a marketing channel.

Agreed. A lot of sensationalism. But on the other end, our BS meters are getting better at detecting the latter. Hopefully not jaded though :)

He has, in a sense, bought protection and good coverage for his fund and his portfolio companies from Business Insider and Panda Daily by throwing them a few bones. Price of doing business...and a very small price to boot. He gets something and they get money to pump and then dump their scuzzy websites.
