fortune!norskog Oct 31 17:00:00 1983 Advertising certainly does lead to censorship. All publications, especially small special-interest ones, are dominated by advertisers. For example, no stereo magazine will publish an equipment review that roasts a particular speaker company. Let's say MOST publications. Consumer Reports accepts no advertisements, for precisely this reason, and roasts any company that deserves it. I think most news magazines are also generally unafraid of their advertisers. As you say, though, small special-interest magazines are another matter. Mark Brader (member, Consumers Union)
