CARU recently closed a case regarding a commercial for Justin Bieber's movie, Never Say Never. CARU believes the :60 second spot misled fans to think that Justin Bieber may show up at hundreds of screenings of the film. Check out bNet's article on CARU's decision.

CARU received a nice mention in Adlaw By Request last week. "The role of self-regulation is partially educational. Wayne Keeley's CARU has demonstrated once again why the self-regulatory body he heads up is relevant and focused on ensuring that the educational mission is not lost in the day-to-day cases they hear. CARU has produced a Public Service Campaign entitled “Do You Know Where Your Children Are…On The Internet?” And, with Mr. Keeley's background as a film director, CARU ended up producing something good enough to be nominated for an Emmy Award in the Public Service Campaign category." Keep your fingers crossed for your friends over at CARU!

CARU is extremely pleased to announce that our Public Service Campaign “Do You Know Where Your Children Are…On The Internet?” was nominated for an Emmy Award in the 54 th Annual New York Emmy Awards, which focuses on News, Documentaries and Public Service Campaigns.  We were nominated in the Public Service Campaign category.  (PSAs are eligible for Emmys because of their value to community service and awareness). Winners will be announced at a Black Tie Gala on April 3, 2011 at The Marriott Marquis in Manhattan .  There were approximately 2,000 entries overall and 500 were chosen in 120 categories.  Keep your fingers crossed for CARU!  And if you have not seen the PSA yet, be sure to check it out on CARU's YouTube Page !
