PadPundit’s Ethics Statement
This is a statement describing how we go about running this site. It details the policies we use when reviewing or discussing products, outlines our editorial policies and is our attempt at disclosure of anything that our audience might want to know about our business relationships.
About Scott Bourne
I am not a journalist or a reporter. I am a pundit and a subjective opinion columnist, a reviewer of photography products and a commentator on photography-related issues. I try to uphold journalistic standards when I report something on the site as “news” but ultimately, I am a pundit and my bias, opinions, and experience guide what I publish.
When I do present what I consider to be factual information, I do the best I can to make sure the facts I provide are accurate and fairly presented. When I present analyses, I try to represent my best independent judgments rather than my preferences, or those of my sources, advertisers or information providers.
I do sit on several boards of advisors in the technology sector, but none relevant to the iPad.
About Andy Ihnatko
I am a journalist. I do not accept any gifts or compensation in return for what I write. I hold myself to the highest ethical standards of journalism.
We do not sell editorial space. The advertising on the site is not connected with the editorial content in any way. We do not accept money to run reviews. We do not own stock in any company we cover on PadPundit.
We do, from time-to-time run Amazon affiliate links inside the website. If you click on those links and order a product, we receive minimal compensation, usually around four and one half (4.5) percent* of your purchase. This compensation in no way impacts the price you pay at Amazon. If you don’t use our link, you will pay the same price you pay using our link. The only difference is that we won’t receive the small commission. We only list Amazon links that we believe lead to fair prices and products.
*The actual amount of compensation changes based on volume.
We are providing this information so that the audience can have all the facts available to them when judging the work we do surrounding PadPundit.com.
