[NU Sports] A Medill Question

[cherron604 at aol.com]

I ask the Medill guys/Journalism guys here:

When did it become acceptable for a journalist to endorse a product ?

I am thinking of Jay Glazer (sp) and Michael Strahan endorsing Subway sandwiches

Also, this weekend I saw Rich Eisen (NFL Network) appearing in a commercial for Pepsi Max

I realize there may be some debate as to any of these individuals' journalistic credentials

I am quite sure that we never had Jerome Holtzman for Gold Toe socks, or Shirley Povich for Florsheim shoes (but I may be wrong)
