Article Abstract:
True North is voluntarily participating in the ethnic tapestry that is the U.S. marketplace by embracing media that reach minority cultures. Al Gore, the American Advertising Federation and the Federal Communications Commission all praise True North, the world's 7th largest agency, for taking the lead in the effort to place more advertising on minority stations and to use minority-owned agencies to do so.
