Ad-Edit Guidelines in a New World

The Canadian Magazine Industry Code of Reader and Advertising Engagement guidelines are intended to help editors, publishers and advertisers maintain an industry-wide standard for preserving the distinction between editorial content and advertising , and to do so in a manner that is transparent to the reader.

In this webinar Patrick Walsh and Charlene Rooke take you through how, when and why the guidelines were created and a summary of their current application. We’ll also explore best practices for applying the guidelines in a digital environment.
