Tech: TechCrunch proves that tech gossip blogs have ethics, too

  • In some way or another, a line was crossed that should have never been. At this time, I do not want to go into details, but I will publicly say that I am truly sorry to my family, friends, TechCrunch, and especially the tech community.
  • Former TechCrunch writer Daniel Brusilovsky • Regarding an ethical error he made as an intern for the site. TechCrunch reports (in an apology) that Brusilovsky reportedly tried to barter coverage on TechCrunch on multiple occasions, which is a definite no-no when it comes to journalistic behavior. TechCrunch chose not to reveal his name at first due to his age, but Brusilovsky apologized for the matter himself. Good idea. source
