Sex, Lies, and Advertising

Gloria Steinem has a really good outlook on ad's in magazines. She feels that ads take over most of the magazines that are published. This has even been occurring for many years. She uses the magazine Ms. as an example in her reading. I picked this paragraph to represent an important idea of how theirs more ad's then articles, essays, fiction, and poetry that should be in the magazine rather then all these advertisements. It also explains how the readers were angry and relieved at what the magazine was producing and showing their customers on what they should be reading. "Their dominant themes were anger and relief: relief because those vast uncritical oceans of food/fashion/beauty articles in other woman's magazines weren't necessarily what women wanted after all, and also relief because Ms. wasn't going to take ads anymore, even those that were accompanied by fewer editorial demands, anger because consumer information, diverse articles, essays, fiction, and poetry could have used the space instead of all these oceans of articles about ad categories that had taken up most of women's magazines for years.(SOL.
