Advertisements disguised as editorial content: who wins?
I was reading one of my local newspapers online this morning, and was a bit surprised on the copywriting in the sidebar for an article. A "Shocking" online report regarding colon cleansers? Why would the Chicago Tribune be writing online reports about that?
Clicking through the article only continued the confusion: three products, each evaluated against each other, each with testimonials, reviews, stars, and even a convenient "buy" button... TVWeek website redesign launched
