Photo-News Publishes Disinformation From the American Chemistry Council
The full page advertisement wasn't labelled as an ad, and no additional context was provided by the paper about its contents.
Updated 3/28/25: For the second year in a row, Straus News has continued to run these deceptive ads in the pages of their Photo-News. All while bragging about a recent award they got for their local journalism. What a class act.
Updated: 5/31/24 at 12pm: For the second week in a row, Straus News has run the advertisement addressed below. This ad is not clearly labeled as an advertisement, which is a violation of the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, and best practices for media outlets. We here at The Monroe Gazette follow the SPJ’s Code of Ethics to the letter.
Please be on the look out for this deceptive ad, and tell Straus News this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated during a time of heightened misinformation plaguing the American public.
