Question:
Do you think a lot of women's magazines are full of rubbish, or are there any quality / intelligent ones?
Answers:
As a former journalist and reader of womens' magazines, I would say that there is a lot of superficiality in all magazines but having been in the position to read a lot of readers' feedback, this can be a sort of lifeline for some women. Articles often inspire women to take action or make changes to their lives, eg reading about Kylie Minogue having breast cancer made some women go and get their lumps examined. Yes, it may seem silly to some people but to others it means the world. I think there are a lot of informative articles in certain magazines. My favourite is Cosmopolitan as there is a balance of everything. They speak to politicians, they tell you about scams, they warn you of new date-rape drugs and they also have the usual sex and fashion features.
