A Interview On The Playboy Enterprise

In this report I have focused on Vogue magazine. Vogue is a product from the magazine publisher Conde Nast which publishes magazines including Glamour, GQ and Vanity Fair.

Magazines soon became vital to advertising, companies began to buy pages in magazines to advertise new products, new movies, and new everything. Many of the other pages were filled with poems written by returning war veterans and images representing life during the 1920s. Vogue and other fashion magazines modeled the new “Flapper” image. Flappers were young girls, who during the 1920s, began to break the rules and transform the way the nation viewed women. Kelly Sagert explained in her book “Flappers: A Guide to an American Subculture (2010),” “Tabloids, sectioned off parts of magazines, had huge articles and images commenting on the popularity of the flapper image, inspiring readers to either follow in the image or accept it within society” (Kelly 37). While the fashion magazines had the flappers to focus on, other magazines like Time and LIFE focused more on current events and politics. They would also feature a successful celebrity every now and

People magazine launched in 1974 with Mia Farrow on the cover of its first issue (Ebscomags.com). Volume I, issue one, went on sale March 11, 1974 for only thirty-five cents (Famousdaily.com). People Magazine is just one of many notable magazines that was published by Time Inc. The creators are Henry Luce and Briton Hadden who pursued common principles of journalism to adhere to the magazine but also wanted to add more flair and personality to the writing. According to timeinc.com, “2014 marked People’s 40th birthday as the #1 celebrity news and entertainment magazine brand, which reaches 81 million consumers (total brand audience across all platforms) plus a social media footprint of more than 13 million.”

Featherstone looks down on publications that emphasize most of their print on Fashion, relationships and celebrities and advocates for magazines that stimulate intellectual growth, promote a healthy body image and include diversity. As an active journalist, columnist and activist, Liza Featherstone makes a good point in her article all while using most abundantly three rhetorical tools: logos, ethos and pathos that she wove into a studied text organization and a simple writing style. It is through ethos that Featherstone does a great job at defending her viewpoint, because her argument lacks a lot

He wanted to make his parents proud and he did. It took him a lot to build a company but he did it. Johnson made millions of dollars on magazines and

However the article does portray articles related to the British Monarch, suggesting that Britain during the 1950’s was still relevant to Australian society although America was becoming more influential on Australians way of living. The source combines numerous advertisements and articles relating to beauty and family lifestyle, suggesting Australians during the 1950’s were becoming influenced by mass consumption, implying women need to emphasis their beauty for their family. This is represented in The Paris Money article, which states “she knew the magic was gone-the dream belonged to the joyous springtime of youth” , implying age is a curse of beauty. The source also highlights this idea for the need for woman in 1950’s Australia to manage their beauty complexion through the comic strip In and Out of Society where the husband is tempted in purchasing books due the attractive saleswomen in comparison to his overweight wife

As editor-in-chief of the cosmopolitan for over 35 years, Helen Gurley Brown influenced women by bringing out their sexuality and allowing them to gain confidence through her words and advice. She made women feel as if it’s okay to be single and do what they want without having to be judged by others. Brown influenced woman’s lifestyle through her work as chief editor Influencing women to be independent, confident, and do whatever they please to do. Brown wanted women to never have to conform to others gender roles.

The magazine title I have come up with is "Recognise". The target audience for this magazine is for both men and women between the ages of 15-25. The values I want to promote in my magazine are compassion, appreciation, caring and dedication. The image of masculinity I want to depict is being a contributor and giving back to the community by giving time and money.

In the December of 1892, Arthur Baldwin Turnure created the later chief fashion advisor for society’s elite for the next 120 years, Vogue. Vogue started as a weekly newspaper starting at $0.10. Turnure's intention

After college, Hugh began to attempt to publish some of his cartoons. Unfortunately none of his ideas sold. So, he ended up taking a $45 a week job as an assistant manager for the Chicago cartoon company. This minimal amount of money was not enough to get by on, so Hugh had to take a second job at Scott department store for just $40 a week. A year later Hef grew tired of working two jobs, and found new work in a $60 a week job as a promotion copywriter at Esquire magazine in 1951. Not long after in January of 1952, Esquire was going to move its headquarters to New York, so Hef insisted on a 5 dollar raise and was denied so he quit, and decided to create his own magazine. Hugh was convinced that there was a market for a sophisticated men’s magazine that would reflect the views of the post-war generation. Originally named the “Stag Party”, you are probably more familiar with its more popular name change, as it is now called Playboy Magazine.

Throughout the 20th century, it has been the media’s job to pinpoint what events and people would prove to be an effective story. This was certainly the case for Howard R. Hughes. Son to the wealthy Howard Hughes Sr., Howard became the interest of the American people and newspapers for most of his life. Being deemed one of the most famous men of the mid-20th century was greatly attributed to Hughes’s skills as an industrialist, aviator, and motion-picture producer combined with his enormous wealth, intellect, and achievement. The media thrived on Howard’s unusual and sometimes scandalous life, especially in his later years when newspapers would frequently front large amounts of money to get stories

I read all the two different sides of story about the Bunny. According to the article The Bunny Years that was written by Kathryn Leigh Scott: “…to work as Bunnies would later propel many of them into vastly rewarding, and often unconventional, personal careers.” Even the Playboy Club will make a litter of Bunnies to liberate themselves and make them better. But the Playboy is the product of patriarchal in fact. What is the Hefner created the Playboy empire’s objective? It sure not to make those women to get triumph of sexuality. He just wants to get the wealth by make the girls to be a Bunny. Those girls received painful Bunny training and should serve for Playboy club. They should change their hair, weight even their deportment to adapt the

These are just some of the ways Playboy has idolized women, but that’s not all that the company and the magazine are about. In an article titled “When Playboy ruled the world”, written by Brett Popplewell, he talks about some of the cultural impacts of Playboy. Popplewell talks in his article about how Playboy is more than just a magazine that displays nude photos of women. It is a magazine that also held many great articles, fiction pieces, poetry, and interviews

Playboy has been a very controversial magazine over the past 50 years but has somehow managed to become an important brand along with the man who created it, Hugh Hefner. Both have come to obtain amazing status worldwide and have become symbols or icons in the United States, Hef as a sexual icon, a ladies man who built the magazine’s enterprise on his own and the magazine has strived and produced interesting, unique and controversial topics for men around the country. It’s interesting to see how today, when magazines have been on the losing end of news and entertainment it’s still striving and has become ever so important in the American life, no longer a simple magazine, playboy has become something much more and for that reason I have decide to investigate how is it that a magazine as controversial as Playboy has become a national icon in the US?
