Sebastian, those two media reports seem rather positive and you outline your cause very well. I also realize that this is something you have less control over, but both of those clips have a clear association with EA. They both talk about William MacAskill as the founder of EA, the second one has a tag calling you “Supporter of Effective Altruism”, while the first one has a separate interview with an anonymous person who is being introduced and interviewed as a member of the EA community. Thus at least those two clips *did* have a strong emphasis on the EA brand which seems to be somewhat in opposition to “We do not emphasize the EA brand in our activities and communications”.
To be clear, I do not think of this as a net negative, especially if the portrayals are as sympathetic to the cause as the ones you linked.
Yeah, you are right that although we didn’t emphasize it some journalists asked about EA and made it part of their coverage. I don’t think that this has been negative but one challenge might be not to give the wrong impression that EA is only about donating money (we are at least aware of it).
