Consumer Reports is a monthly consumer advocacy magazine with a circulation of about four million subscribers. Its first issue appeared in January 1936. It publishes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on recorded results from its in-house testing laboratory. Consumer Reports’ annual testing budget is approximately 21 million dollars.
Consumer Reports prides itself on its objectivity. It does not incorporate outside advertising, accept free product samples, or permit the commercial use of its reviews for selling products. Its publisher states this policy allows the magazine to “maintain our independence and impartiality.” It avoids the possibility of bias from bribery or from being given ‘better than average’ samples. There are more than 100 experts working in seven major areas, including health.
