Had an interview with Gloria Steinem. It's in the Arts and Entertainment section of their web, under the title "Battling the 'cult of masculinity'"
First question:
When I asked one of my editors, a woman in her 30s, to get more space for this write-up, she said that she regarded you as "nothing more than a historical curiosity." Do you find that as disheartening as I do?ARGH. It was only a half a page. and a third of it was taken up with a head-and-shoulders shot. Yet they spent two pages on flipping' upcoming Star Wars, and a third of a page talking about what's in the trash US celebrity magazines. And they can't put real news and real information in the paper? Jeez. historical curiosity. I think the editorships are having serious problems at that paper -- this is the same paper that ran the "My name is Julie" ads and put Britney Spears in the news section.
I used to really enjoy the Star: it had a viewpoint, it had beliefs, and it reported information. Now the weekend papers seem to be almost complete trash of the same sort that made me stop buying Toronto Life magazine a few years ago: it was all attitude, and no intelligence (Toronto Life may have changed since then; I don't know).
This is getting real bad.
