- Don’t be scared, they’re not trying to make you look bad
It’s little wonder people are spooked by active participation in news media. The whole process is the antithesis of button-downed message orchestration and corporate signoff and safety nets.
Control is forsaken and submission and anxiety rule. Careful answers to journalistic questions are scurried back to the factory and smashed to bits, with just the chunkiest shards dispassionately hammered into spaces between advertising.
