CNN quoted Poynter’s Roy Peter Clark in an article about the L.A. Times’ front page “cover-wrap” ad for “Alice in Wonderland”:

“Roy Peter Clark, a senior journalism scholar at the Poynter Institute, said tough economic times and lower ads sales have forced newspapers to tear down the ethics wall that separated a paper’s front page from advertisers. 

” ‘The wall became in recent years a fence, but the Los Angeles Times has created a swinging gate’, Clark said.”
