This is a provision which guarantees fre e dom o f the press, and is impera tive f o r fa ir and accurate report ing. The E d ito ria l B oard o f the T rib u n e has established an adver tising policy which refuses any ad that it deems to be sexist, racist or pornographic. A.v the Pepsi Co. ’s ads do not fa ll under these cate gories, the T rib u n e will continue to run these ads. F o r the majority o f publications, advertisements are a vital source o f revenue. The T r i b u n e does n o t in any way endorse the products o r services o f its advertisers.
