******* Unwritten rule of not showing casualties on magazine covers (dating back to World War II) was breached in the September 19 TNR with this Jason Reed photograph (via Reu ters) of a New Orleans drowning victim from Hurricane Katrina. "We wanted to show the full cost of what happened," says TNR executive editor Peter Scoblic, who is covering for editor Peter Beinart as he completes a book on liberalism. "Seeing another tree limb, damaged building, or flooded street does not fully get the point across. Loss of life is the major tragedy." Disaster and Disgrace cover line makes it clear where TNR stands on the Bush Administration's handling of Katrina, but the 91-year-old weekly is less pigeonholed as "liberal" with "neocon" senior editor Andrew Sullivan (TNR editor in the 1990s) and past senior editor Fred Barnes, who switched to Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard a decade ago. New York Post reported (September 9) the Federal Emergency Management Agency request to news media not to run any photographs of dead bodies. That it was universally ignored (TNR going to the extreme) was evidence of the low credibility of FEMA undersecretary Michael Brown, who subsequently resigned. He is a big part of TNR's Disgrace.

I had been away and the magazines had piled up, so the first time I went through the Aug. 22 issue of The New Yorker I didn't know about the fuss it had caused. I knew only that the issue was strange. First, I didn't see any advertisements. Second, the magazine was festooned with pages of hip illustrations, stylized cartoons with figures strutting, kibitzing, consuming, generally looking urban and cool. The drawings were rendered in different styles, all imaginative and contemporary, and used only black, white and red. Looking closely you'd notice a motif of red-and-white concentric circles, resembling archery targets. The overall effect was confusing, as if The New Yorker had been hijacked by a gang of art school seniors. Were these graphics supposed to illustrate the articles they ran alongside? And where were the ads? It turns out what I beheld had become a minor scandal in the media world. These curious drawings were the ads. They all contained red-and-white bull's-eye figures because that icon is the corporate symbol of the advertiser, the discount retailer Target. MORE ONLINE 3. Advertising AgeWeekly Commentary From the Media Guy: Why You Won't Catch Media Guy In A Poncho By Simon Dumenco 9/19/05 http://www.adage.com/news.cms?newsId=46091 Since I'm affiliated with a competing title (I'm a contributing editor at Details), I'll graciously refrain from joining in on the beat-down of Men's Vogue (e.g., Peter Carlson of The Washington Post: "drivel"), but I will worry out loud about who the hell Men's Vogue is going to put on the cover now that they've done George Clooney. There just aren't that many sophisticated, rakishly handsome male stars that are worthy of the Vogue brand. In fact, I can think of exactly one: George Clooney. Hollywood clearly can't be bothered to drum up much Men's Vogue-ready male glamour, which makes me wonder how much demand there really is for the Men's Vogue archetypal lifestyle. Prospects: When I was in Milan this spring, the entire fashion industry was abuzz about The Coming of Men's Vogue. Now that it's here, it's clearly advertiser-friendly enough to make fashionistas feel amply rewarded for their support. Regardless of actual reader demand (see also: Cargo), it will thrive as an ad-packed quarterly.
