This definition may govern what legal will allow you to call corrupt in a legacy publication in order to be maximally careful to avoid getting sued but journalists would do well to remember that not all rules imposed on us at work are actually about truth-seeking
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

A little story about buying & selling genetic data in light of 23andMe's impending bankruptcy. (Also told, I must say, in my book, Inside the Cell.)
In the late 1990s, the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation -- a nonprofit aimed at genetic research -- solicited DNA samples from volunteers.

A new study from @towcenter.bsky.social finds serious accuracy issues with genAI models used for news searches, highlighting a common trend: Rather than declining to respond when they lacked reliable information, the models often provided confabulations. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/a...
AI search engines cite incorrect news sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says
CJR study shows AI search services misinform users and ignore publisher exclusion requests.

This is such a disappointing thing to read. Winterson's books could never have been written by AI, they could only be imitated once subsumed into its training sample.
Of course Winterson, a writer who's already successful and at the top of the literary world, says crap like "I think of AI as alternative intelligence." Her words merely give credibility and legitimacy to powerful CEOs and corporations wanting AI to supplant human workers, writers, and artists. 1/
