What qualifies someone to vote? I expect many are familiar with the Cade Metz / Scott Alexander fiasco but if everyone votes based on second-hand reports, then we could get misinformation cascades.
Yeah, I feel like in order to provide meaningful information here, you would likely have to be interviewed by the journalist in question, which can’t be very common.
At first I upvoted Kevin Roose because I like the Hard Fork podcast and get generally good/honest vibes from him, but then I realized I have no personal experiences demonstrating that he’s trustworthy in the ways you listed, so I removed my vote.
I sort of think that if you think they have good/bad vibes you can vote. For most people, most of us won’t have heard of them or read much of their coverage. And if you think the number is way too high you might want to comment why you think it’s off.

Met in person or have other private knowledge also seems reasonable IMO.
