Letter from the Editor
Maybe the media has a hand in it, but opinions are less muffled nowadays. But what happens when journalists, editors, corporations stop covering up their biases? Magazines like Allure and TIME haven’t exactly kept quiet about their opinions on the election. Surely, like advertisements, print publications wouldn’t be so open about their political/social opinions were it not compatible with the assumed political/social opinions of the demographic majority. Their intentions may be utilitarian, but are consumers really the driving force or is it all about the mon£y?
In this issue of ethiCOOL, we’re looking at the obstacles magazines face when aiming for the bullseye with their audience. After all, they’re the ones buying the issue, right?
