Essay 1796


From the Advertising Age report on last week’s AAAA Media Conference and Trade Show in Las Vegas…

YET ANOTHER AWKWARD MOMENT IN MADISON AVE’s DIVERSITY QUAGMIRE: A panel on diversity followed [Procter & Gamble honcho Jim] Stengel’s presentation, and a large chunk of the audience registered its interest by streaming out of the room. “How do you expect to change diversity practices when half the audience leaves?” asked one who remained.

(The panel was titled, “The Business Case for Diversity in Media.” Eugene Morris of E. Morris Communications, Inc. was the scheduled moderator; panelists included Linda Jefferson of Burrell, Johnathan Rodgers of TV One and Lisa Torres of MPG.)
