Many DRCNet readers will
remember Dan Forbes' expose last January, of the US Office of National
Drug Control Policy's granting of financial credits in the government's
anti-drug ad campaign to the six major networks in exchange for being able
to review scripts (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/121.html#ondcp),
a story that sparked a national scandal and Congressional inquiry.
A further expose by Forbes,
published last Friday (3/31), finds that the White House rewarded US News
& World Report, Seventeen and other magazines for publishing anti-drug
articles under a similar arrangement. The piece again appears on
salon.com, at http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/03/31/magazines/.
This and many other articles
covering drug war topics are now available in a "theme park" just launched
by Salon, including a range of articles from 1998 through the present.
Visit http://www.salon.com/news/special/drug_war/
to check it out.
