Cherlynn Low graduated with a Master’s in Journalism from Columbia University in 2013 and started her tech media career writing for Laptop Mag and Tom’s Guide. She spent years reviewing smartphones, laptops, wearables and cameras before joining Engadget in 2016 as Reviews Editor.
appears to show part of the sign-up form to receive Pixel devices, and the language in question mandates that signees feature Google 's hardware "in place of any competitor mobile devices" or else "we will need to cease the relationship between the brand and the creator."
After some online conversation, it's become clear that this form was sent to members of the Team Pixel program, which is different from the review program for members of the press or media. Engadget falls into the latter category, and I did not see that language in our form, nor have I ever seen language like this in my experience as a reviewer of Google devices.
In the meantime, Google has just released a statement saying the wording was a mistake. Kayla Geier, communications manager at Google, said "#TeamPixel is a distinct program, separate from our press and creator reviews programs. The goal of #TeamPixel is to get Pixel devices into the hands of content creators, not press and tech reviewers. We missed the mark with this new language that appeared in the #TeamPixel form yesterday, and it has been removed.
It's not yet clear if #TeamPixel members have received a new agreement and if those who declined on the basis of that stipulation have been given a chance to re-apply.
