Summary

Forbes.com articles published after 5 August 2010 include ones written by their staff and by Forbes.com contributors. There is no consensus on the general reliability of Forbes.com content created after this date due to concerns around contributors-turned-staff's articles being retroactively modified to appear written by staff. Articles are considered generally reliable if it is ascertained their authors were part of the Forbes staff at the time of the article's writing, and considered generally unreliable if the opposite is ascertained.

Excerpt

David Churbuck founded Forbes's web site in 1996. The site uncovered Stephen Glass's journalistic fraud in The New Republic in 1998, an article that drew attention to internet journalism. At the peak of media coverage of alleged Toyota sudden unintended acceleration in 2010, it exposed the California "runaway Prius" as a hoax, as well as running five other articles by Michael Fumento challenging the entire media premise of Toyota's cars gone bad. The website (like the magazine) publishes lists focusing on billionaires and their possessions, especially real estate.
