I got my first reviewing job with a music magazine after reading their first issue. They intended to cover every music event in NYC and, as a result, the tabloid was packed with small, 2-3 column-inch notices without by-lines. I wrote to the editor (whom I knew) and said that reviews without attribution are of minimal value and a questionable business practice. The first because, as an opinion, it only has value in the biased context of particular reviewer and we can only evaluate that with continued exposure to identified reviews. The latter because, without specific attribution, the editor, the publisher and, perhaps, the investors encumber general responsibility for opinion and any legal ramifications.
They found room for the by-lines in second issue and I got to review lots of concerts.
