Article Abstract:

Television ad sales dropped considerably before September 11th, and then dropped even further. Advertisers were allowed to pull out of contracts due to everyone's sense of respect. Some moved those ad dollars to the next calendar year; some waited for the fourth quarter before restarting regularly planned advertising. Consumers who were polled indicated that they understood advertising had to resume; it is part of what helps drive the U.S. economy.
