8743: Not Thinking About Diversity In 2011.


Advertising Age published a piece by Gilbert & Davis Chairman Ron Urbach titled, “Seven Legal Issues That Agencies Should Be Thinking About in 2011.” The list included:

1. Should the government, the industry or the market decide how the new economy uses and protects data?

2. Should the First Amendment protections of traditional media apply to today’s new media and tomorrow’s future media?

3. Read my lips: no new taxes—except on advertising. Should we care?

4. Personal responsibility or government nanny: What role should consumer protection take?

5. Should consumer protection be driven by government budget gaps or consumer need?

6. Contracts, indemnification and insurance—is it my force field or an illusion?

7. You hated science in school, so why should you care about patents?


Nowhere on the list: Should adpeople be worrying about potential courtroom consequences for failing at diversity?

Anyone heard from Cyrus Mehri lately?
