I had a slightly poor experience with El Reg.
I had a bit of a story about AWS. I contacted them. There was some interest. I finished the write up (I was investigating an AWS service) and emailed it to the journalist. We'd had a fair bit of email exchange up to that point.
Never heard back - at all. Not a peep. I waited two weeks, just for him to reply, then gave up on it and published.
I later emailed an editor at El Reg about this, no reply also.
Obviously, what El Reg publish or do not publish is completely up to them and I have no issues whatsoever with whether they are interested or not - the only issue here is the silent treatment.
Not a big deal at all, but let a faintly bad taste in my mouth. I kinda stopped reading in the end after that. A friend pointed out El Reg run paid infomercial articles from AWS about the very service I investigated, but I have no idea what actually happened.
