In its rush, People neglects advertisers

Article Abstract:

People magazine, published by Time Inc., rushed a special edition into print to cover the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The magazine has been castigated by advertisers who were not notified that their regular ads were being run until after the special issue was at the printers. Many advertisers said they would have pulled most ads which are inappropriate to run next to articles and pictures from the coverage of the tragedy.
