I just noticed how crypto media need to be transparent about who backs them. CoinDesk is one of the serious ones in this regard - they have strict editorial policies to maintain the independence of their journalists, even though they are part of Bullish, which focuses on digital asset platforms.

What’s interesting from a psychological perspective is that people often fall into confirmation bias when reading news, especially in the volatile crypto industry. That’s why transparency like this is important to build trust. Media that openly states "this is our relationship, this is our policy" helps readers become more aware of potential biases.

I think this is a mindset that needs to develop in the industry - not just publishing content, but also educating readers on how media operates. That’s what makes readers more critical and less easily influenced by any narrative.
