Incubator/seed investment funds are popping up left and right and were looking to differentiate ourself through edgier design. Our founder likes to swear. In public. A lot. Think Ari Gold, but for tech companies and without a suit.

Complete objectivity has always been a mystical creature as elusive as the Lochness Monster of Big Foot. Journalists are like any other people with opinions. But the longstanding pursuit has been to avoid the opinion to get in the way of news-gathering and reporting; to approach the story with the idea of an impartial observer, something that is perhaps unattainable.

And the web is clearly shifting the standards and expectations of such a standard with blogs adding a clear voice to and perspective to the news. Of course, this often comes at a cost of getting only one side of the story, but at the same time opinion often adds value to the conversation and holds people accountable, especially in the case of analysis of a complex issue. Regardless, reporters and journalists should be clear and transparent with their readers, setting a clear expectation about the information they are consuming.
