The Age newspaper covers news with an ad, again

aage-feb16.JPGThe advertising department at The Age newspaper is on a roll with yet another ad covering editorial content yesterday.  This time they have a post-it type note covering up promotion of an AFL football story.  So much for their support for the AFL and for Caroline Wilson’s excellent story about Richmond.  It you want to sell ad space, sell ad space.  If you want to run editorial above the masthead on page 1 of the newspaper, do that. You can’t do both and be true to yourself.

    Not just the Age. This is a regular occurrence on the SMH.
