Time Inc. Subpoenaed Over Sponsored Sales

Time Inc. has contacted some 150 of its major clients and media buyers to alert them to a subpoena it received in late July from the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of the Court of New York for information about the company’s sponsored sales programs, AdAge reports.
