Out of the mouth of a babe - an opinion!

Article Abstract:

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has recently stated that magazines generally prefer to use cover girls who have blonde hair and blue eyes, rather than those who have dark skins and brown eyes. This is a surprising statement from someone who has done very little to identify herself publicly with the plight of young black women. She seems to fail to recognise that her social standing would have been very low if her mother had not been so ambitious for her. However, she is right in her view that those who set trends have a duty to be leaders in social change.

Interviewers do more than ask the punters' questions

Article Abstract:

Some observers believe that the UK's leading journalists are becoming too aware of their own influence and power. However, these journalists need to be extremely skilled, and their role in public life should not be dismissed. They are valuable in conveying the true meaning of the public rhetoric used by politicians, and also raise issues which politicians, aware of the need to stick to the official party line, do not dare to discuss. When the government does make revelations, it is usually the result of pressure from journalists.

When you consider John Prescott's encounter with Chumbawumba, the Sixties look oh so good

Article Abstract:

The death of Carl Wilson, one of the members of music group the Beach Boys, has not received a great deal of media attention. However, it is worth considering how this group summed up the popular culture of the 1960s. Its music was pervasive and imitated by others, and was for a time the language of pop music. The group was particularly influential in giving its fans a sense of optimism. It therefore stands in sharp contrast to the music groups of the 1990s, whose members often indulge in crude, vulgar activities.
