...artists, producers and media executives decided that promoting drugs was not a good thing.

The surprising source is the New York Daily News, which bills itself as New York's Hometown Paper. The News has spent the past year preparing for the possibility of a multiunion strike by seeking "replacement workers" from around the U.S. To orient its out-of-town talent to life in the wilds of Manhattan, the News is preparing a guidebook that portrays...
