Mea Culpa to Blog Readers regarding Infant Formula Ads
Posted on 06/16/2009 01:03 pm by kagranju
It has come to my attention that infant formula ads are occasionally showing up in my BlogHer adspace, over there to your left. I’ve never actually seen this, but I am told that it’s happening.
I am working on making sure that it stops happening ASAP. In the meantime, please accept my apologies. As I hope anyone who has followed my writing knows, I am a longtime, vocal supporter of The WHO Code , and I would never willingly have such an ad on any site I own or oversee.
So, yeah, I am working on this issue. Bear with me. And thanks to those readers who have alerted me to the problem.
And also, for the record, I sure wish that the PR and marketing firms that send me pitches, asking me to review or promote their client’s products on this blog would at least take a quick look-see at the contents and general editorial themes here before hitting send. If they did, they wouldn’t waste their time, their clients’ money or my email inbox space asking me to blog about things like a great new brand of infant formula or their client’s revolutionary, abstinence-based sex-ed program for teenagers…
