Conflicts of interest
A lot has been said in recent months about the complex issue of
conflicts of interest in wine writing, and I don't really want to add
more to this already cluttered debate. Suffice to say, my policy is that
I will declare any potential conflicting interests and
allow the reader to decide whether or not they think these will result
in flawed judgment on my part. This sort of policy is simply
good journalistic practice. It is now the norm
in medical and scientific journal publishing (another area of
publishing I am familiar with), but is still extremely rare in wine
writing. You
can be assured that wineanorak
is an independent publication, written by people with a passion for
wine, with the consumer in mind. End of sermon...
