Like, “Hey I want you to be able to cover factory farming as a beat,” seems fine, but “Hey I want you to report on how factory farming is evil and bad,” you know, then you’re asking for sponsored content, maybe without clarity to the readers about what is getting paid for. So you’d want it to be something where you want the beat to exist rather than you want a particular angle on coverage.
There is a significant disanalogy between factory farming and AI safety: any journalist hired to cover factory farming is almost certainly going to be against it, whereas there are plenty of people interested in covering AI who are not well aligned on the safety issue.
I have one idea, but I think this strategy may be a bad idea so am loath to share it.
Good news: I have no successfully guarded against this infohazard by forgetting what I was talking about.
