Consumer Reports accepts no outside advertising. Consumer Reports is an American magazine published monthly (except December) by Consumer Reports (a spin-off company created in 2012)[2] since 1936. It publishes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory and survey research center. The magazine accepts no advertising, pays for all the products it tests, and, as a not-for-profit organization, has no shareholders. It also publishes cleaning and general buying guides. It has approximately 7.3 million subscribers[3] and an annual testing budget of approximately US$21 million. Consumer Reports is well known for its policies on editorial independence, which it says are to "maintain our independence and impartiality... [so that] CU has no agenda other than the interests of consumers."[5][6] CR has unusually strict requirements and sometimes has taken extraordinary steps; for example it declined to renew a car dealership's bulk subscription because of "the appearance of an impropriety".[7] Consumer Reports does not allow outside advertising in the magazine[5][6] but its website has retailers' advertisements. Consumer Reports states that PriceGrabber places the ads and pays a percentage of referral fees to CR,[8] who has no direct relationship with the retailers.[9] Consumer Reports publishes reviews of its business partner and recommends it in at least one case.[10] CR had a similar relationship with BizRate at one time[11] and has had relationships with other companies including Amazon.com,[12] Yahoo!,[13] The Wall Street Journal; The Washington Post;[14] BillShrink;[15] and Decide.com.[16] CR also accepts grants from other organizations,[17] and at least one high-ranking Consumer Reports employee has gone on to work for a company he evaluated.[18] CR also forbids the use of its reviews for selling products; for example, it will not allow a manufacturer to advertise a positive review.[5] CR has gone to court to enforce that rule Related Torrents
