Worst thing was journalist said, "I'm asking in your capacity as an "analyst/commentator." Because analysis is for free.

so what you mean, if I understand correctly, is "reading docs I haven't and giving me the lede"?

Underlying NGO also said, after a certain doc was released, "Marcy should tell us what this means." Bc that is apparently ALSO free

I sort of get the journalists (tho not the request, the last time, for links to my own work). But REALLY tired of NGOs freeloading.

It would be nice if journos respected journo work more rather than assuming the time consuming "analysis" was the free stuff.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. Though I do this to Think Tankers a fair bit.

That's what TT people exist for. This is likely a cutout from the TT thru the journo bc the TT people know they don't know but I do.
