I started Advisorator in 2018 after getting frustrated with how much tech coverage consists of business news, gossip, and hype. The newsletter cuts through all of that with information you can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Advisorator, I also publish <a href=\"https:\/\/cordcutterweekly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cord Cutter Weekly<\/a>, which helps folks save money on TV, and I\u2019m a regular contributor to PCWorld, Fast Company, and New York Times Wirecutter. I started out as a local newspaper reporter and hold an M.A. in magazine journalism from New York University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Commitments and ethics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I come from an old-school, pre-influencer journalism background. Here\u2019s what you can expect from me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I don\u2019t accept payments of any kind from the companies I write about. That means no ads or sponsorships from streaming companies, and no paid travel to industry events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I don\u2019t invest in the companies that I write about, outside of mutual funds where I don\u2019t control individual investments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To prevent sales commissions from influencing my coverage, I limit affiliate links to the deals section of my newsletter and website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I use a privacy-respecting form of analytics and collect as little information as possible to run the website and newsletter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I don\u2019t sell your personal data or share it with advertisers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What you read comes from an actual human. I use AI for research and coding projects, but not to write for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Contact me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a reader with questions, <a href=\"mailto:advisorator@jarednewman.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For PR and business inquiries, <a href=\"mail:newmanJB@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use this address instead<\/a>.
