This is as good a time as any to remind the readers that just because we post a review with a particular opinion, does not mean that the magazine and website as a whole agrees with that view. When we send a writer out to cover a specific event or to review a certain album or other form of media, we are expecting to get back an article based on their honest experiences. Certainly depending on which writer is sent, these experiences may be better or worse depending on that specific persons’ personal interests and knowledge. Their article may also be influenced by their particular interactions with the people involved with the event. I personally have had some horrible experiences with band mangers on site at shows. Sometimes the experiences are so bad that it makes it into my article. Sometimes I write it off as they were just having a stressful night and I don’t take it personally. For the most part that portion of the night does not relate to the article at hand. But there are the occasions where people do make the difference. On the other hand, they can be so amazing and wonderful, you can’t help but want to mention how amazing a particular member of staff was to you when they didn’t have to be. I love to mention those personal touches. I am not some cold, dead reporter. That’s why Flocked is independent.
In any case, each person’s view is their own. As long as it is not a malicious attack or an intentional kiss ass article, it will be published. We support our staff’s opinions, even if we don’t always agree. That is why we are a diverse collection of people. We do our best to have those best suited for the material cover it so as not to intentionally bias an article, though. Then what comes of that, is what comes of that.
We always love feedback, good or bad. So be sure to contact us for anything. Via email or facebook.
