When I did reviews for PW, I told myself that wasn't the same as doing reviews for PW Select but on reflection, that was the wrong call: having anything to do with one arm of a company is supporting the whole edifice.

Although Romantic Times and RT Review Source are not the same organization, they are connected. The review I will be sending RT this month will be my final review for them, at least as long as their upper echelons embrace the idea of RT Review Source.

I have absolutely no ill will towards Regina Small of RT, who had no role in the creation of RT Review Source.

Useless from the point of view of readers -- or at least those readers who understand the process. From a strictly financial viewpoint, the question is whether the magazine will gain more revenue from the paying writers than they will lose from readers who henceforth choose not to buy the magazine, and the strictly financial viewpoint is probably all they're considering.
