The Independent underscores the importance of quality journalism, citing its commitment to covering critical issues like reproductive rights and climate change without paywalls. In a related incident, an advertisement by Next was banned after being deemed irresponsible by The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for featuring an unhealthily thin model. The ASA reacted to a viewer complaint, noting that the ad's styling and camera angle unfairly highlighted the model's slimness. Despite Next's defense that the model was healthy and had not been digitally retouched, the ASA prioritized public health over marketing.
Next stated it had a strong sense of responsibility while creating the ad, emphasizing that the model's appearance was not digitally altered.
The ASA deemed the advertisement irresponsible due to its focus on the model's slimness and the specific styling that highlighted her leg shape.
