[Noisebridge-discuss] Press article (Noisebridge Closing)

[aestetix aestetix]

My problem with the article is not that information was misleading or
error-prone, as I myself didn't know our financial situation until we saw
the email today from Kelly. My problem is that we did not receive a single
email about this to press at noisebridge.net, which means that the article
likely resulted from the banter on the mailing list. I have since contacted
the organization asking how they vetted their information to clear up any
miscommunication.

Note to people: proper journalism involves contacting your source and
verifying that the information you're about to post is correct, otherwise
it's really hearsay at best. Even if it seems logical and reasonable, having
a direct source that can back up your words is usually a good practice.
Otherwise you're simply spreading rumors.
