The new BBC advertising campaign, "Show Both Sides of the Story," does just that. The angle: get corner billboard space everywhere and juxtapose news on each corner.

Implications - The images are powerful and make a statement about how most people tend to get one side of the story without considering the other. The billboards have a two-faced effect that dramatically captures the emotions of the portrayed subjects. From the oppositions of a soldier and an explosion to an Iraqi family and a TV with Bush on it, this ad is a clever way to try to promote the image of neutral media.
