Samsung did not break rules over woman running at 2am advert
A Samsung ad criticised for showing a woman running alone at 02:00 has been cleared by the advertising watchdog. Women's Running magazine editor Esther Newman said the ruling "Makes people think there's nothing to worry about". Woman's running groups and campaigners also told Radio 1 Newsbeat the ad was "Unrealistic". "We know there are a lot of concerns out there that a lot of women feel unsafe no matter what time they go for a run," she said. Esther said a conversation with advertising companies should happen to discuss woman's safety and running as she believes it is a much wider issue.
