Double Status: Manufacturer + Reviewer

162.116.29.68

Hi,

I will be writing a series of articles, probably including some product reviews, at one of the online magazines. Being as I'm also a manufacturer, what's the protocol for disclosure?

Thanks!

The big problem with this double status is that people might suspect you're manufacturing or dealing with what you're reviewing. (Think reviewer Peter Aczel and Fourier Loudspeakers.) Very few people have been able to review objectively while they're also manufacturing or marketing products.

You manufacture *cables* - that doesn't count - J.Mac 19:26:38 06/03/08 (0)
Everybody manufactures cables. Cable manufacturers are the real estate agents of the audio world. You can't spit without hitting one.

Testing my sig line disclaimer.
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.

Please note my dual status as reviewer and manufacturer. Take EVERYTHING I say with a grain of salt.

It's probably fine to choose either one, so long as you disclose the other
in your profile. You can look at my profile for an example as I serve on
The Bored and do some reviewing.
