Martha Stewart tells Daily Variety that she talks about the economy on her television show every day “because that’s what my viewers are concerned about.” Yet, she tells the trade paper, it’s an issue that’s affecting not just her viewers, but her advertisers as well. “I was entertaining a group of advertising clients, all successful people, not necessarily in the habit of economizing. We got into this really interesting conversation about how this economy has changed not just the way we act but the way we think,” she told the publication.
