When Media Over-Hypes Itself
Just got an email from the PR office at @Time offering an opportunity to interview their reporters who are covering #inspiration4 – but not to interview the crew. pic.twitter.com/7XiWj5Fr8N

And the media wonders why their cred is below that of used car salesmen ??
So basically you interview the interviewers to hear what they talked about with the inspiration crew? Why would anyone want to play the telephone game instead of interview the inspiration crew directly? Is time the exclusive media gatekeeper for all interviews with the crew?
Looks like the mission has sold exclusive coverage rights to Time & Netflix (which is showing a Time-produced docuseries). It’s probably one of the ways that they are covering costs. Perhaps you should charge Time for interviewing their people to, you know, get a piece of the action. (Welcome to the commercial part of commercial space.) https://spaceexplored.com/2…
