...much as I would like to write off tabloids as marginal and irrelevant, they are neither. On the most direct level, tabloids are many Americans sole providers of information. But tabloids reach even beyond those that read nothing else; they are ubiquitous at grocery markets across the country, as anyone who has ever waited on a shopping line knows. And they are enticing. More than once, I have glanced covertly and shame-facedly at their headlines, trying to look nonchalant as I read as much of the front page as I can before the old lady in front...
...national papers and about college moms on the front page of The Crimson. In both cases, the publishers and editors defend their decisions to print personal tragedy with the language of professional integrity and journalistic honesty--after all, it happened. But maybe mere existence should not be the sole criterion for publishable material. Maybe the impact on the lives of those being written about and a sense of responsibility to the greater community should also be included in the calculus that guides our decisions about what is news-worthy and what is not.

Sherman photographs herself in a variety of guises, many of which evoke old Hollywood B-movies. No wonder Madonna is a fan. The two changelings...
...real story about Gen X is that Xers are radically altering the workplace, the employer-employee bargain and the nature of work. We are showing all workers that everyone is, ultimately, a sole proprietor in today's world, and in doing so we are helping to change the rules of the game at work for all Americans forever. Industry leaders know this, and that's why they have put Generation X on the front burner of their corporate agendas. They know that Generation X is a lens through which to see the future of work...
