Global Warning
In last week's column concerning runaway production studies, we pointed out the glaring omission of data reflecting spot production's impact on the U.S. economy. The two major studies we cited were the Department of Commerce (DOC) report released just a couple of months ago, and the 1999 research...

Letting Go
Letting go of the past—not forgetting it—has been deemed beneficial for one's mental health, at least according to experts in the field of psychology.

But instead my life had to be personally touched by a problem before I would take any action to help solve it. Perhaps that's human nature...

Just what the industry needs—another awards show! But that thinly veiled, oft-warranted sarcasm doesn't even remotely apply in the case of the commercial awards competition (see page one story) being launched by the Association of Independent Creative Editors (AICE).

Ad Power II
The last spot.com.mentary of 2000 provided an overview of the positive role advertising has played in the war against tobacco. In California, for example, a multi-faceted educational campaign—including high-profile TV spots—has helped to reduce smoking rates among adults and teenagers. In the...

Ad Power
In recent years, SHOOT has made a commitment to reporting on anti-smoking spots—whether these be national in the form of the American Legacy Foundation work out of Arnold Communications, Boston, and Crispin Porter+Bogusky Advertising (CP+B), Miami, or efforts by individual states. The latter...
