Laura Kate Dale
Destructoid, Editor
Previously: IndieHaven, Kotaku Freelance contributor, Rock, Paper, Shotgun Freelance contributor, The Guardian
Wrote two times about Gemma Thomson without disclosing their personal relationship and Patreon support — from Thomson to Dale (and her outlet Indiecade) at the time of the first article, and from Dale to Thomson at the time of the second.
Gave coverage, on Indiehaven, to Louise James without disclosing that James was financially supporting both her and Indiehaven on Patreon. Acknowledged the mistake and added disclosure immediately after DeepFreeze's filing, stating that the patronage involved very small sums.
For a long time assumed to be a member of GameJournoPros, but she doesn't appear in the screencaps published by Breitbart or in any of the leaks, and has denied being a member, making this very likely to be a mistake.
This journalist’s career means they might be subject to slight asymmetric scrutiny.
