That's utterly ridiculous. The moment an editor tells a writer to write a review based on someone else's opinion, that's when credibility is lost. Telling the reviewer the score they need to hit based on another work would be a failure of journalistic integrity. Any writer worth reading would refuse immediately, and rightfully so. That's a horrible, awful suggestion. I'm sure some editors might tell a reviewer to lie for the sake of "consistency" but, as a consumer, that's something I would not accept if I knew it was taking place. I have far more respect for an editor that lets a writer write their own work without pre-setting the outcome in advance. |
As if these guys (or girls) have a degree in Journalism. I'd be surprised if they have a college degree at all.
