Newspapers & Magazines
Newspapers, books and magazines are the oldest source of printed media in the world. They deliver news, professional opinions, statistics, fiction, advertising, entertainment and amusement. Issues in the area may arise both for readers and authors. Subscribers in most cases have to face inconsistent subscriptions, delivery failures, annoying telemarketing calls, overwhelming ads, etc. Authors, on the other hand, have to deal directly with the publishers. As a rule, they complain about lately published or unpublished materials, unauthorized change of content, unpaid royalties and the like. Some problems can be settled with customer service support, others, however, may only be voiced just to prevent other customers from similar inconveniences. This can be done by the word of mouth or by posting on our website, a place where every hurt customer is welcome, every complaint is heard and shared.
