In this "hopeful" episode of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert discuss the Facebook Journalism Project, and why it's great for Facebook and not very good for the media. The boys also cover native advertising in detail this episode, with a take on the advantages and how Star Magazine was slammed by the Better Business Bureau. Rants and raves include Big Red soda and more on agencies buying media companies. This week's TOM: James Vick and Tennessee Farmer.
