access media

1.) Corporate advertisers posing as journalists who try to pass off their reviews, commentary, and other content as unbiased reporting. So long as their coverage is positive, they are rewarded with access to things like press junket parties, film sets, celebrity interviews, and early access to things like theme park rides or video game releases.

2.) Synonym of shill.

"Hey, did you read that story on the rides at Galaxy's Edge on Collider? They totally loved Smugglers Run. I wanna go renew my Season Pass!"

"Collider? Those guys are access media. I'll wait for a review from someone who doesn't bend the knee to Emperor Mickey."
