OK Magazine: NOT OKAY WITH ME!

Posted by cherylannenelson Posted on: 08/22/08

OK Magazine: NOT OKAY WITH ME!

      Last week I went into the grocery store here in Manhattan and while standing on the checkout line I saw an article on Jennifer Aniston and then boyfriend John Mayer.  Its captions read:  Jen and John’s wedding, WORLD Exclusive, the flowers, the cake, the place, and on and on it went.  I thought:  OH WOW!  She got married?  Where the heck have I been that I missed that news till now???  CRAZY!  So I grabbed it and checked out.  I went into working holding it up to my co-workers as if I had discovered the secret of the century.  EVERYONE said:  “WHAT? ” “She got married?”  ”WHEN?”  “I didn’t hear anything about it!” Each gal was eager to get their hands on my magazine–so I quickly sat down to read it through.  WELL- imagine my surprise when I read the actual article and found that a wedding had not taken place  but that if one does take place this is what it would like according to people close to the actress.  ARG!  I was furious.  To compound my anger even worse, a co-worker who was not willing to wait for my magazine decided to go online and look for info on said wedding and found information that the couple had actually broken up!  I hate how magazines lure you in to buying their magazines with misleading captions.  Here I was all excited about Jenn and John and my best wishes for their happiness were dashed like waves crashing on the shore.  I will NEVER EVER buy Ok magazine again.

  • Your first clue should have been the name of the magazine. You cannot expect excellent journalism from a publication named OK. They are telling you up-front that the quality of their reporting is not superior. I don't know what happened to journalism. It's been redefined, but not renamed. I was taught that a journalist is one who observes the world, and writes what he sees. Now, what passes for news is less about what happened and more about what might happen. These are not news reporters, they are news speculators. Hey, this post is going somewhere, so I'd better stop here and save the rest for my own blog. I'd send OK back to the publisher and ask for my money back. Remind them that you blog, and have friends who also blog. Of course, the magazine was supposed to be called KO, and cover the world of boxing, but the editor is dyslexic, and will not care that you glob.

  • Such words of wisdom Audio--I will just stick to the pics and skip the stories. If nothing else, the magazines are good at keeping up with the fashion trends. =) Thanks for commenting.
