Weekly magazines agree

It’s not often we see the major weeklies cover the same story with a similar view.

    The best way to sell a few mags after the pumping up of the 20th anniversary of Princess Di’s death is to give Camilla a good pasting.

    Think I’ll change the caption header to “Gutter Press”

    Am I living in a different world ?
    Has there been anything in or on other media about this ‘marriage over’ / ‘kissing’ ?
    Is it just a pump up to suck in the suckers ?
    Maybe so huh…..

    But lets not stress, personally I don’t give a damn either way 🙂

    @Lance: I don’t think there has been.

    Probably I would check the red tops like Mirror / Daily Mail / The Sun first of all.

    Then the Times and their social column.

    And Private Eye – they would have skewered it.

    I notice that on the right hand side there are more “Australian stories/gossip” – where you turn the page.

    @Steve:

    They really did give Camilla a good pasting.

    In the old cut-and-paste sense.

    The left cover has her face looking very matte/shiny.

    The right cover is probably more “real”. Especially where the teeth are concerned. Yes, more like a country squire…

    And all the pink and orange. And the Woman’s Day yellow and black outline.

    The jowls are very prominent in both.

    @Colin:

    I know!

    Reminded me a lot of Raymond Williams and COMMUNICATIONS and his review of the major womens’ magazines in 1960s Britain.

    I see that the New Idea uses “false document analysis” with a copy of the “Divorce” papers. And there is the “first person” emphasis on Camilla’s “guilt”.

    And is the tall dark handsome one a stock photo?
