War threatens recovering advertising industry- " The war presents a minefield for advertisers.

"War Underway, Online Ad Industry Treads Carefully"- "With visitors streaming to the Web for information about such a serious and grim matter, online publishers have been left with a dilemma: Ads on television news automatically get pulled during war coverage, but Web ads have a different relationship with the content, running alongside, rather than interrupting, it. Still, the potential of offending already tense viewers has led most news sites to impose a short-term moratorium on ads running near war-related stories. At MSNBC.com, the site stripped ads from the site on Wednesday, after the war officially began, for an initial 48-hour period. Likewise, CNN.com and Yahoo! News have pulled advertising from their war stories. At NYTimes.com, in the site's special section, "A Nation at War," advertising has been pulled. Washingtonpost.com, however, has not adopted any hard-and-fast rule, choosing instead to work with individual advertisers to suit their needs."
