7. About Vogue Magazine as a Source
Tue Dec 18, 2018, 10:51 AM
Dec 2018

I didn't find this story by searching Google. Our household has a subscription to Vogue. and GQ and several other Conde Nast magazines. They are my afternoon reading material. Why do I read Vogue? Because it's on the coffee table, and because it frequently has thought-provoking articles interspersed with the fashion ads and other fantasy stuff. Same thing with GQ. Same thing with Vanity Fair.

In 2018, there are precious few outlets for long-form magazine articles. Only a few magazines generate enough ad revenues to enable paying outstanding writers to produce such articles. So, you find interesting things in magazines you wouldn't expect to publish such articles. This week, I found the article at the link in the OP in the current issue of Vogue, following one of those awful ads for perfume that assaulted my nose.

Information is where you find it, even in some unlikely places.
