@chich There were over 300 different nominations put forward, and these were whittled down to create The Drum's list based on the number of nominations each freelancer received, the testimonials put forward from clients and the quality of their portfolio.

@ChrisJMac If an error is spotted, we try to fix it as soon as possible! Thanks again for letting us know.

@ChrisJMac Our intrepid reporter was forced to write up this article on his iPhone and unfortunately auto-correct added the superfluous apostrophes. Thanks for pointing out, they have now been removed!

@rosyi13913 Thanks for pointing out - it's now been fixed.

The Drum received this reply from Tim McCoy, Starbuck's Director of Communications:

The piece by Dan Geech, based on a blog and nothing else, makes a lot of assumptions about Starbucks, and a lot of it from a book first published 13 years ago. We’re serious about ethics and, in fact, we were voted Europe’s most ethical coffee company, our coffee is 100% Fairtrade in Europe and ethically sourced by other standards globally. Our workers own shares in the company and we support UK youth projects across the country. Could your piece please reflect a bit of balance and fact-checking? It’s highly mis-leading. Of course if you don’t want to take my word for it, take a look at this Guardian piece on Starbucks
