Technology reporting for ordinary decisions

What we publish

Issues contain original reporting based on events from the previous calendar month. We write for readers who use technology but do not spend their day studying the industry.

The six specialist guides remain available as permanent resources in the footer. Their existing pages are not republished as new issue stories.

A story should explain the job, the evidence and the limit. If a product saves time but costs privacy, needs a subscription or only works on one platform, that belongs near the recommendation.

How the publication is funded

Some products covered by the desks are made by or commercially connected to the publisher. Some outbound store links may also earn a commission. A company cannot buy a place in a ranking.

Publisher relationships are shown beside the relevant story and on the underlying comparison page. The full rules are in the editorial policy.

Corrections

Material changes should update the visible review date and the sitemap date. A corrected recommendation should state what changed instead of presenting an old conclusion as new research.
