Targeting kids
Article Abstract:
Corinna Hawkes, author of the WHO study Marketing Food to Children: The global Regulatory Environment, surveyed 73 countries and found that 85% of them had some form of regulation on advertising to children, with Sweden, Norway and Quebec in Canada, having outright bans on TV ads. However, banning does not seem to be effective, as children watch channels aired by countries where the ban is not applicable. According to the WHO, besides TV, marketers target children through in-school marketing, sponsorship, product placement, Internet marketing, and sales promotion.

LPGA Classic looks to score sponsor
Article Abstract:
The Ladies Professional Golf Assn (LPGA) is threatening to pull the Du Maurier Classic from Canada unless a title sponsor could be found for the event. The LPGA has given Jean-Paul Blais, the former president of Du Maurier a whole month to find a new sponsor willing to pay $3 million annually to stage the tournament. Du Maurier, part of Imperial Tobacco, used to sponsor the event but has been prevented from doing so by new federal regulations restricting tobacco sponsorship. The Du Maurier Classic attracts 200 million TV viewers yearly, excluding those from Asia.
