TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Our estimable Bruce Byfield wonders if he is being overly punctilious about
writing reviews about a company's products.
Bruce, IMHO you are not being overly (or underly) punctilious about this.
If this is not run-of-the-mill marketing collateral, you should ask some
questions: who is the audience? In what forum will this material appear?
If there is even the slightest odor that this material will be presented as
an impartial review (for which the vendor is paying you), I would scurry
away like a quick little bunny.
Bruce, please do not participate in anything that would sully journalists
and their (your) profession. Avoid this PR person because it sounds like
he or she is on thin ice ethically and maybe legally (I am not a lawyer).
