Steiner
Associates, LLC publishers David and Ina Steiner began an incredible journey
when they launched
<span class="SpellE">
AuctionBytes
</span>
in 1999, rebranding
the site to
<span class="SpellE">
EcommerceBytes
</span>
in 2011.

<p class="MsoNormal">

Freelance
reporters, advertisers, and providers supported what remained a small,
husband-and-wife publishing business dedicated to helping sellers become more
efficient and profitable selling online.

Readers
provided insight into the joys and pitfalls of selling online. Many people
who relied on ecommerce platforms for their livelihood requested anonymity in
communicating with
<span class="SpellE">
EcommerceBytes
</span>
about problems
they encountered because they feared retaliation for speaking out publicly.
The publishers of
<span class="SpellE">
EcommerceBytes
</span>
support reporter
shield laws such as the one being considered in Massachusetts, supported by
the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Massachusetts
Newspaper Publishers Association.

the context of the press, shield laws allow journalists to refuse to disclose
confidential sources of information obtained during newsgathering. These laws
protect reporters from being compelled to testify about their sources or
unpublished materials in legal proceedings.
