My first job out of college was at a daily newspaper where I was both a reporter and a copy editor. I wrote stories part-time, and designed specialty pages on the copy desk the rest of the time. I was in charge of the food page, as well as a TV section, and company representatives would call the paper and ask if I’d do a story on their new food item or entertainment piece. I’d regularly receive freebies in the mail with people requesting that I’d test their products, or do a review, or give them some press. Sometimes I’d do it, sometimes not, but I’d always look at the stuff they sent.
