Hunterbrook Media's Potential Conflicts of Interest in Investigative Journalism

Hunterbrook Media, a newsroom that places stock market bets to profit from its journalism, is under scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest. The company's founder has investments in a competitor to a company that was the subject of a critical article. Hunterbrook Media's business model involves shorting its targets' stock while doing investigative journalism. The company recently reported on Safety Shot, a drink claiming to lower blood alcohol content, without disclosing the founder's investment in a similar company, ZBiotics. The article raises questions about journalistic integrity and conflicts of interest in the media industry.
