Advertising: crisis, what crisis?
It sounds like you mean that advertising is now free to use the hitherto unmentionable 'crisi' word

Ads break a (or the c word) taboo
To indicate that the taboo is the rule not to mention the c word.

: many people would think of the 'c' word as something quite different, one of the rudest in the language..

I know, but the title says "Cade IL taboo" as if there were only one. I guess it's a matter of adding emphasis to the title. Cheers!

Advertisers start using the R word
The asker says: 'in newspaper articles previous to now the word "crisi" had hardly ever been used', but I think from the context that she means advertising, not newspaper articles.
'Crisi' is a false friend - you can't just translate it as 'crisis'. Here, it refers specifically to the recession, which is why I've suggested 'the R word'. Obviously you'd have to clarify in the first sentence of the translation that R stands for recession.
I also don't think "the C word" is appropriate. That means one thing in English, and it's not crisis!
