This is similar to a political campaign not telling you to vote on X, but still talking greatly about X. It's completely legal

Here's the ethics policy for the SF Standard: https://sfstandard.com/ethics-standards/

  • It’s a puff piece with no substance that tries to frame the interviewee positively with no real apparent reason.

  • OK, and? It doesn’t say anything about paid (or otherwise) promotions.

    • I imagine they forgot to explicitly list that because avoiding undisclosed paid promotions is so baked into the ethics of journalism that saying it out loud didn't cross their minds.
