Jason Schreier will be writing for Bloomberg starting next month
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Been following this on twitter as also very keen to hear the new podcast. I don't really know about bloomberg (I'm in te UK) but sounds from comments like it's well received.
If anyone hasn't read Jason's book yet, and likes his style of reporting, I'd highly recommend it.

Lmao, what's the point of people trying to shame/guilt trip him for taking what is probably a better paying gig
I bought your book jschreier and loved it and really hoped more games journalists were....you know, really journalists. Gaming industry is as big as movie industry now and deserves to be taken seriously by mainstream media and I can't be happier with you taking the helm and hope more game journalists take this seriously. I wished more of these so called gaming sites have real journalists like you.
All the best jschreier

Based on his opinion on labour practices, yes. It's like a environmentalist working for BP, while advocating to save the planet.
I mostly meant that Kotakus owners, G/O Media, just had their own union busting spree killing off whole sites and sometimes even just on the whim of the billionaire in charge.
Your analogy might not be completely wrong but it was just as applicable of Kotaku.
Jason you mad man! I can't believe you've kept up the "real proper investigative journalist" act for so long. It's been like 10 years since I bet you couldn't keep it up for more than a month. You've even got Bloomberg fooled! Lol!
What an absolute legend!!! You can stop now though, and tell us which is your fave, PS5 or SeX4 ?

Mike Bloomberg to Bloomberg News reporters upset over not being able to probe Democrats: 'With your paycheck comes some restrictions'
Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire Democratic presidential candidate, said employees at his news organization "just have to learn to live with some things" when asked about their frustrations over the outlet's 2020 election policy forbidding the investigation of Democratic presidential contenders.

"They get a paycheck," Bloomberg said during an interview that aired Friday with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King. "But with your paycheck comes some restrictions and responsibilities."
Bloomberg News killed story, fired reporter, went after his wife. EiC said it was justified because CCP are like "Nazis" who should be appeased.

good thing he doesn't write about China I guess? As long as he never writes anything that conflicts with his employer's significant failings he'll never have a problemBloomberg News killed story, fired reporter, went after his wife.

Yeah, you've got to be critical of nearly everyone working in gaming media if you're going to criticize Bloomberg's news shop. There's either issues with ownership being scum and/or they're so reliant on publisher relationships that they can't operate without compromising and playing along with them.
I'd guess Jason will probably have less constraints at Bloomberg because publicly traded companies can't exactly blackball Bloomberg given how big they are in Financial News. Seems like a more stable place for a journalist to work from the outside as well.

At that point he was a candidate and the point was to avoid an obvious conflict of interest. So I have no idea what you think this is supposed to demonstrate.
Was only a question of time. Not to dig on Kotaku, or the gaming press in general, but it was pretty clear Jason Schreier operated on another level entirely, and it's good to see him work for a household name in the news media. Surprised he didn't end up working for the New York Times, actually, since they published some of his articles.
Thanks for that.
So going forward this move helps Jason be even more investigative where it count and is an asset to Bloomberg overall (pull in new subscribers).
Interested to see what his first article will be.
Why would an investigative journalist, whose position in companies allowed him to travel to different companies and places to report and investigate, leave that company to lose all that access and start from the ground up? Investigations take a lot of time and resources. He can do more than he could at Kotaku. If he can get editorial freedom and a Chinese wall, then he should be able to do even more expansive investigations, like suppose the Uyghurs being used in concentration camps and forced to make next gen consoles. Or all kinds of other possible stories.
I'm pretty sure this was an old NeoGAF rule.
Like, members weren't allowed to take personal cheap shots at each other. They were expected to remain somewhat civil with each other. But you were allowed to be a dick towards random strangers. Like... let's say Bill Gates. He's a book-reading, sweater-wearing nerd who didn't even create Microsoft, he got filthy rich by stealing things from better nerds. Fuck Bill Gates. (That's just an example, I don't hate Bill Gates.)
But then there were people like David Jaffe or Denis Dyack on the forums, and you weren't allowed to be a dick to them, even though they stood out every time they posted. You were expected to be civil with them, like you would be with any other member.
But then, Jaffe or Dyack would show up in a news story, and some members would go full blast on them in that thread, as they might with any other celebrity, but it wasn't because they were a celebrity, it was because they were passive-aggressively trying to start shit with another member, in a way that would normally be against the member-to-member civility rules, but had a certain deniability (since you weren't talking to the celebrity, you were talking about the celebrity, in a newsworthy topic which you didn't start).
So a double standard was created, and VIPs were afforded some additional mod-protection. Yes, it's a double standard, but it exists for a reason (because there's always someone looking to take down the celebrity, and the celebrities stop coming over when they get too much of that).

Good the less chance I get at seeing what this shill writes the better for me.
Kotaku will most likely improve with him going.
