From Paul Messenger
I need to report that my close association with Hi-Fi Choice magazine (covering some 30 of the past 34 years) was terminated following the magazine’s recent purchase by an organisation with the unlikely name of My Hobby Store (which also now owns Hi-Fi News).
Although the previous owners hadn’t seemed in the least concerned, the new management was unhappy that HIFICRITIC was promoted on the basis that its freedom from advertising ensured superior independence from commercial pressures. I was effectively given an ultimatum that if I wanted to continue to work for Choice, I would have to give up editing CRITIC.
