A lot of journalists steer clear of crypto because of the perception that there is a disproportionate amount of bad people here. 

Instead of debating the point, tell them that’s exactly why we need them to join up. We need more good people and more accountability.

I agree. I'm more saying that's the pitch to them. Also, if they don't join early, then norms and institutions get formed without them and their input. They'll have to come begging for scraps yet again.

Not making an objective claim about whether they are good or bad, but personally I'd like to see more here.

Tbh im not sure journalists, simply by their title, are good people nor desirable people. 

We just broadly want more people (journos included) joining the crypto space out of a desire to held build a better coordinated future, and not just to make a 2x by dumping bags on a greater fool.

In my experience journalist entering crypto resort to marketing roles, a better approach I think is to create journalists out of the existing community...

I hypothesize that crypto journalism would be a lot of on chain analytics
