Only 13% Of The September Issue Of Vogue Is Editorial

Well I certainly get Vogue for free because I'm a writer.

So who pays to get Vogue?

People buy the fashion magazines for the advertisements because the ads are the ways these companies communicate to other people in their field.

Working in retail, you read the fashion ads like programmers read Slashdot.

More ads equal more content. That's what vogue essentially markets, the ads.

It's as if no one here knew that, and that kind of illiteracy is a little scary.

I appropriated a copy this evening. The three-page table of contents roughly appears on pages 50, 100, and 150.

with that much advertising the mag should be free!

I think ads are acceptable as long as they're good an clever ones, but I may be biased since that is my supposed area of expertise, I'm supposed to be up to date with ads and stuff like that.

The pictures in these mags are not bad either, of course that there must be bad ones in there but such is life.

Yeah, fashionistas and photographers are mostly looking at the ads anyway.
