Hello. I edited the previous post to use information sourced directly from the CAMY web site. For disclosure, my research company is a contractor to CAMY as is cited in CAMY's reports. The previous entry was from a web site that is critical of CAMY's work (http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj)

This entry is now nothing but a "puff piece" written by someone paid by the organization. A search of Google confirms that CAMY is widely criticized for the quality of its reports. Esential to a NPOV is balance. Someone needs to work on this.

A saerch of Google confirms that the original author of the CAMY entry, Prof. Hanson, is also the author of various articles critical of CAMY; I don't see how the original post upholds NPOV. The nature of wikipedia is that articles can and should be improved. Ostroff 21:23, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
The article obviously needs to be re-written in an impartial and balanced way, both pro and con.
[edit] Source
On 5-9-05, BrokenSegue flagged this Wikipedia entry as a possible copyright violation because it was clearly based on “Anti-Alcohol Industry 101.” The material in bold is from that source. “Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth: Its Objectives and Methods“ is a major site on CAMY, according to Google.David Justin 23:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) is an interest group in the United States that seeks to mobilize political and other actions against alcohol beverage advertising in the belief that it causes alcohol consumption by citizens under the age of 21.
CAMY was established and is financially supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation by grants administered through Georgetown University.
In support of its mission, the organization publishes numerous reports critical of alcohol beverage advertising.

I edited this page on June 29 2007 in the hope that it now provides an objective and balanced summary of CAMY, with links to individuals and organizations that oppose its reports. As someone who is paid by CAMY I do not consider myself a likely candidate to offer an NPOV, but the previous article written by a longtime critic (Prof. Hanson) was not appropriate and seemed to be biased against CAMY. I think Prof Hanson's web pages (linked in the article) are the appropriate place for his criticism.
[edit] Georgetown University
So what's the center's connection to Georgetown University? It was in the Georgetown University category, so I added it to the Georgetown University template. Is it just that GU helps fund them, or are students involved in some way, or are they located somehow on campus, or do they somehow use university resources? If it's just funding, I'm inclined to remove the center from the template.--Patrick Ѻ 18:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I undid some vandalism from 11/1/07 and reverted to the version of 10/25/07. Patrick Neil asked about CAMY's connection to Georgetown. CAMY was established at Georgetown and its funding is through Georgetown. There is not a substantial academic connection, but this kind of center is common among research universities.
