[Ipg-smz] Phone interview question

[David Needle]

" ... why it’s written ‘told xyz publication’ instead of the name of the
journalist  "

Print trade mags did this as well. It's just to underscore in the eye of
the reader where they read the story, it's a branding thing. Few if any
sites are interested in branding journalists. Also it's to convey (however
lamely) that the interview was given exclusive to publication X.
