Blogging, Double Standards, and Recommendations | Jessica Knows May 4, 2009
Posted by Jonathan Hewett in : delicious links , trackbackJessica Smith responds to the WSJ article referred to by NYT (see previous post):
"Bloggers are being scrutinized for transparency and disclosure issues but the same “traditional” media that’s reporting on it? Pot. Meet. Kettle.
Case in point. I was recently quoted in an article in a major newspaper. While I wasn’t misquoted, what I said was grossly taken out of context.
I have a disclosure policy on my blog that says that I may have been compensated for some reviews. Let’s be clear here. Compensation has many definitions and unless I say the post was “sponsored” by someone? I did not receive cash. I received either a product or service for review. "
