Muckraking? Me??

From VentureBeat:

"Over at BrandweekNRX, Jim Edwards pens a farewell post offering 10 drug-advertising reforms that would do a lot to make pharmaceutical-marketing programs more informational and less manipulative. With Congress having apparently passed on letting the FDA regulate drug ads more thoroughly, though, the odds of any of these idea passing into law seems remote at best.

Additional oddball note: Jim’s replacement at the blog is none other than Peter Rost, former Pfizer marketing exec-turned-scathing critic of the industry that once paid him. Rost has an odd sense of humor and can certainly carry on at times, but he’s entertaining, muckraking, and always worth a read.."
