Statement from The
Atlantic
Regarding an advertisement from
the Church of Scientology that appeared on TheAtlantic.com on January
14:
We screwed up. It shouldn't have taken a wave of constructive criticism
— but it has — to alert us that we've made a mistake, possibly several
mistakes. We now realize that as we explored new forms of digital
advertising, we failed to update the policies that must govern the
decisions we make along the way. It's safe to say that we are
thinking a lot more about these policies after running this ad than we
did beforehand. In the meantime, we have decided to withdraw the ad
until we figure all of this out. We remain committed to and
enthusiastic about innovation in digital advertising, but
acknowledge—sheepishly—that we got ahead of ourselves.
We are sorry, and we're working very hard to put things
right.
