The incident even had other journalists mulling over the policy. So that’s why it was odd when two journalists - two very prominent journalists, as a matter of fact - were at odds over whether something was or was not off the record. Off-the-record comments are supposed to remain strictly between the source and the reporter. If the reporter agrees to an off-the-record request, the ethical thing to do is not report or even repeat that information. The source then can decide whether or not they want to share that information. A source should ask a reporter first if something can be off the record. Just because a source says something is “off the record” does not mean it truly is “off the record.” The common belief among many is that when a source tells a reporter something “off the record” that means the reporter cannot or should not publicly share that information. So well known, in fact, that even those outside the business are familiar with it. And Nana of course.It’s a well-known journalism phrase. This, my dear readers, this kindled my love for this pairing and for this I’ll forever be grateful to Hella. I had just discovered OTR when chapter 8 came out. Of course I searched for a link to AO3 and read my first frostiron story. I still remember all those poor tortured souls text post crying over a fanfic called “Off the Record”. (thx again for that, hon!)Ĭurious on what this “frostiron” looked like and was about, I went on my still pretty young tumblr account, and ventured into the depths of the frostiron tag. Of course I was assured and enlightened by her. I thought “Tony and Loki? together? Just how does that work? ok, sure there are some daddy issues….”

My dear Nana (the Admin of this page) shipped frostiron. Once upon a time, back then, when the Avengers’ fandom was just born and the frostiron community obscure and so so small, that pure chaos reigned, I had a group of internet friends that got into the Avengers.Īll were raving about feels & and about Superhusbands and Thorki. I shipped before but never really on a this intense level, especially one that made me feel pain of feels in my poor soul. I think most of you still remember this one here
