Sure; if you're talking a "regional" or special-interest publication. But, with the possible exception of R/C Report, submit a warts-and-all piece with negative information to one of the "big" mags, and see if it gets published without a lot of editing; or if it gets published at all.

I did a column in a model helicopter magazine for four years. The vendors (merchandisers; people who sell the products- this may or may not be the manufacturer) do NOT want to hear anything negative; period. If their product has a problem, and you publish it, you WILL pay for it (if not now, then later) in lost ad revenue. This is a basic fact of the game. When was the last time you saw ANY really negative info on an R/C product in one of the "glossies"? Me, neither.
