RE: One of the problems with ezines...

I see what you're saying but on the flip side - review dollars to run a website is far far lower than review dollars need to keep a print magazine afloat. Indeed, I have a personal blog - zero advertising and it is completely free to operate.

I could certain accept advertising to make some money on it but I certainly would not need to in order for the blog to survive. Print magazines losing a major advertiser and not being able to replace it might find themselves in a spot of trouble.

So they have to push the notion of a Brick wall between advertising and their review staff because they arguably have a bigger issue because they NEED the advertising for their very survival.

I can't address what might happen if I hated something what our magazine would do about that as it hasn't happened to me yet. But I will ask about this just in case because I agree with you - we can't ignore or try to hide something if it turns out bad.

The only thing I could see from our magazine was the following where the reviewer liked a CD player but later found issues with it and then made an addendum to the review as follows.
