Papers happy at income
PA Wellington While debate rages over legitimacy of the Government’s tax-cut advertising, newspaper publishers are happy to be getting the money. “In these economic times every legitimate dollar is good news,” said the Newspaper Publishers Association’s executive director, Mr Patrick Greene, yesterday. No complaints had come to the N.P.A. from either the public or the Opposition about the fullpage advertisements. Until there was a complaint there was not much the N.P.A. could do apart from being prepared to be involved in any working party to look at political advertising as suggested by the Auditor-General, Mr Brian Tyler. Newspapers have rules on misleading or untrue advertising and advertisements that blatantly breached those rules were not printed. Mr Greene believed the tax advertisements in newspapers did not fall into that category, but they were "borderline.”
