Ad Age keeps up the heat

Kudos to AdAge for keeping the heat on Morgan Stanley and BP for their 'Ad-pull' policy when faced with unfavourable editorial. See DEBATING THE 'AD-PULL' POLICY CONTROVERSY.

The significance of the issue has been brought home to us once again in Asia today with news of the arrest in Guangzhou of Singapore Straits Times China correspondent Ching Cheong. Who knows what is going on there and it may seem a world away from saying nasty things about BP in a trade mag. But the truth is, it isn't that different and editorial standards in Asia are pretty poor to start with. We can't afford to let them slip any further.
