Speaker addresses ethical advertising in Prindle speech
Sept. 25, 2009
The Dolce and Gabbana advertisements that feature shirtless men and portray women as helpless are eye-catching, but are they ethical?
Students tackled this question and others during Wally Snyder's lecture, "The Ethics of Advertising," held Wednesday at the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics.
Snyder, a professor at the University of Missouri's Reynolds Journalism Institute and president emeritus of the American Advertising Agency, holds a law degree from the University of Iowa and worked for 16 years at the Federal Trade Commission, a federal agency that deals with fair trade practices and consumer protection.
