Dive Brief:

• The Trustworthy Accountability Group announced Thursday that representatives from top brands, agencies, the Internet, and ad companies will serve on its board of directors.
• Twenty-four representatives from J.C. Penney, Motorola, Google, Facebook, AOL, and more will sit on the board with general counsel from the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
