AFL not that important to the Herald Sun

heraldsuncoverup.JPGThe Sunday Herald Sun yesterday had a post-it note type ad for tourism in NSW and Qantas Holidays stuck over a headline for their report on the Carlton / West Coast Eagles match.  The placement of the ad says a lot to the AFL and AFL fans in Victoria.  There were plenty of comments yesterday – customers hated it.  We agree with them.  Covering up editorial content in this way damages the brand.  It also indicates that publishers care less about editorial content.
