New York Times declines art ad
Author: Lenny Campello — Published: Oct 17, 2004 at 11:28 pm 0 comments

Linda Hesh's "Art Ads" will be appearing in the Washington Post as small ads in the main national and world news section. On Tuesday, October 19th, the interracial couple ad will appear, and the gay couple ad will appear on Tuesday, October 26th.

The New York Times refused to place these ads because their policy is that all advocacy ads must clearly state and opinion, and their opinion is that these do not. The New York Times has no other category for the ads to fit into, so they will not be seen in the NY Times.

Who's the loser?

Maybe the New York Times' readers...
