There's a new(?) trend where organizations pay news media outlets to post an article. It reads like an article and looks like an article, but it's an ad (albeit usually an informative one.)
For example: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/adv/article-in-an-era-of-dei-rollbacks-interac-is-standing-up-for-employee/
I'm sharing this one because Interac legit has a solid DEI program and this is a good subject for media to be talking about. It still bothers me a lot that this is a thing.
