Selective disclosure is counterproductive and harmful to the media ecosystem compared to no disclosure, as it places those who do disclose at a competitive disadvantage.

“I feel like um selective disclosure is is worse than no disclosure as in if only some people are forced to disclose then and others aren't. I I think that's not good. So I think I feel like the push should be towards changing the the legal framework around what the reporting requirements are.”

Journalists and creators participating in political funding programs should prioritize and center transparency regarding their financial backing.

“what I think that we can all agree with is disclosure. As you noted, this program that I'm in sent out a press release the day there's all the information that you can find is public.”
