    They’re probably from the “all publicity is good publicity” school of marketing.

      Nah. I think they just assumed more people remembered the ad campaign by (if memory serves) The New York Times where they more or less showed every step used to investigate and verify a story before reporting. Also, I would be amazed if that was actually the NYT’s campaign which… probably sums things up.

      Before they were mismanaged to the shadow realm, Vice was similar. The idea that they very much were “good news” and ACTUAL freedom of speech/the press in contrast to “I want to say all the slurs”
