Ashton Kutcher Uses Details Editor Gig to Promote His Own Investments

Ashton Kutcher’s recent gig as guest editor for a special “online only” version of Details magazine resulted in some questionable journalistic practices. The actor used editorial to showcase several tech companies in which he is an investor.

Kutcher himself made no mention of his financial relationship with the companies in the magazine. The only disclosure came in an intro to a Q&A with Kutcher that says, “as an investor, he puts his money where his mouth is, too, backing many of the companies he champions here.”
