TechCrunch Is Redefining ‘Editorial Independence’ After Selling To AOL
At yesterday’s Disrupt SF event, TechCrunch announced it was being purchased by AOL for a rumored amount of $25 to $40 mil., which you think would be stated in the headline of the first article they published concerning this news.
Instead, we get a headline that reads: Tim Armstrong: We Got TechCrunch!, which honestly doesn’t really tell you much of anything. I’ll translate: Tim Armstrong is the CEO of AOL, “We” is AOL, “Got” means they purchased TechCrunch.
