A feature story in the latest issue of Ad Age, "This Week in Ad Age History: A Lot Like This Week in Ad Age Present," discusses features and pieces from Ad Age issues of the past and how they are similar to pieces published in the current issue, as well as issues that are of importance recently.
As a nation, we like to believe that we pay attention to history's lessons so that mistakes aren't repeated down the line. Reading this piece just cements the fact that we obviously do not pay attention to the lessons history tries to teach us.
Past stories published in Ad Age have been early foreshadowed some of the issues and news that are big in advertising today. It is crucial for students of advertising to pay close attention to where our craft came from, where it's been and where it is going.
