Now revised and updated to reflect the impact of emerging technologies, this new edition of Advertising and Society: Controversies and Consequences examines the evolution of advertising and its influence on society. To facilitate discussion and expose readers to all sides of each debate, chapters are organized in a unique point/counterpoint format. It explores controversial topics such as alcohol, tobacco, and sex in advertising; the pros and cons of negative political adverts; the use of stereotypes in advertising; and the evolution of industry channels, including Direct to Consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising, product placement in various media, and the increasing intrusiveness of Internet marketing forms. Engaging and thought-provoking, Advertising and Society is an invaluable resource to stimulate thinking while revealing the controversies, complexities, and ethics of the most contentious issues in contemporary advertising.
