Salon.com: Drug Czar

Report on how network television shows included anti-drug pitches in their
programming to cash in on a complex government advertising subsidy. The

network television, advertising and the role of government. It reflected
deep reporting of an unexplored topic -- the kind of investigative work
that Web journalists should aspire to.
