About 27% of respondents in a survey by Trustworthy Accountability Group and Brand Safety Institute said advertisers should not appear adjacent to news about “murders and violent crimes,” while 26% said advertisers should avoid appearing near stories about “controversial politicians.” Around 22% said advertisers should not appear near news about abortion, lesbian and gay issues, police brutality, and riots, while 18%, said advertisers should avoid running ads next to stories about the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Forty-six percent said all “high-quality news coverage” should be appropriate for ads.
