Many DRCNet readers will remember Dan Forbes' expose last January, of the US Office of National Drug Control Policy's granting of financial credits in the government's anti-drug ad campaign to the six major networks in exchange for being able to review scripts (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/121.html#ondcp), a story that sparked a national scandal and Congressional inquiry.

A further expose by Forbes, published last Friday (3/31), finds that the White House rewarded US News & World Report, Seventeen and other magazines for publishing anti-drug articles under a similar arrangement.  The piece again appears on salon.com, at http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/03/31/magazines/.

This and many other articles covering drug war topics are now available in a "theme park" just launched by Salon, including a range of articles from 1998 through the present.  Visit http://www.salon.com/news/special/drug_war/ to check it out.
