Alex Konrad, founder of Upstarts Media after twelve years as a senior editor at Forbes, posted a reply agreeing sources should speak only to him.

Konrad guessed the idea of dictating a column was pitched to non-tech editors and approved. He added that such pieces could annoy beat reporters by making later access more difficult.
