First of all, throwaway account because I don't want my media contacts to know who I am..The reason I post this, is because I would like the cryptomedia to change. Become objective, report news instead of pumping own holdings. I have been in contact over the past year with many journalists and websites. The one thing that bothers me most, money can get you everything!!!In a world of crypto where idealists aim for a fair and transparent financial world, the media has been all but fair and transparent. It is known some media companies hold cryptocurrencies, which is a bad thing to start with.Example: Write a press release and send it to cointelegraph, newsbitcoin, bitcoinmagazine, bitcoinist, cryptocoinnews, coindesk, and others, and pay a fee for publishing. It will be published with a note that it is a press release. Write any journalist, offer 40-150 Euro and they will write your press release and make one of these websites publish it as news. Even worse, pay the website a little more and they will publish a press release as news without noting that it is a press release.In a world where we are looking for financial freedom and such, we allow media to be even more rotten than mainstream media. I have contacted the media with real big news and they refused to write about it, but offered to do it for money. For other currencies I have had shitty news and pump articles published as real news by just paying a journalist. I no longer want to do this! Change the cryptoworld together into a transparent and honest world. The media plays a huge role in the adoption of cryptocurrencies and this lying will only turn people away from us.This might not only be about bitcoin, but it has to do a lot with bitcoin. Bitcoins reputation is being negatively influenced by this because cryptocurrencies will be seen more as scams.I would like to hear your stories about your experience with the so called news websites and journalists. Here a list of known rotten news websites that I personally have experience with: Cointelegraph Bitcoinmagazine Cryptocoinnews Newsbitcoin Coindesk Bitcoinist Coinidol Coin News Asia BTCmanagerJournalist.. I don't want to publicly shame them. I hope they will realise this themselves.Change the media, share the news!Tldr; pay a journalist/website and they will publish your press release as "news" via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2ic3JeW
