Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

"When a magazine depends almost solely on adv. dollars to survive this publication ceases to be objective"

Really?

Let's use a real - world example. I wrote for Listener magazine for it's entire life span. I had no connection to the advertising sales person. I may have met her once at a party at Art Dudley's house but other than that I never spoke to her, ever. Art and I never discussed the magazine's ads, and I had no knowledge of what ads had been sold for upcoming issues or anything else to do with ads in Listener. Art never asked me to change a review in any way to make it more palatable to an advertiser. Given these facts, please explain exactly how the content of the reviews I wrote was rendered unreliable by the ads that were adjacent to those reviews.
