    It sounds like it didn’t get reviewed By the publisher and he seems genuinely apologetic.

    Miami New Times publisher Adam Simon tells Axios the ad is unacceptable and he’s changing the alt weekly’s ad review process.

    • Normally, he said, staffers — including himself — review ads prior to publication. But in this case, the ad came in past their deadline and Simon did not review it.
    • The New Times will no longer take ads so late that they can’t be reviewed, he said.
    • “Naturally, had I seen it, which I should have, I would not have let it run as is.”

    Who knows for sure, but I was expecting whoever ran the ad to either be a supporter or completely indifferent. It was a nice surprise to see them also be upset instead.
