This seems like the sort of thing where it would really help to have a public database of ‘journalists who we’ve discovered are sucky and journalists who we’ve discovered aren’t sucky’, both as a very mild deterrent and more importantly so future EAs can avoid talking to this particular person.
My guess is that there are far too many journalists in the world for this to be very useful. Though I like the idea, if only to give a more visceral sense of base rates (though obviously myriad selection effects)
