Completely buried in work this week. But this. Whoa.
It's a Pierre Bourdieu goldmine. Social theorists are probably choking on big ideas about economic censorship -- that what gets published is "determined by the owners, by the companies that pay for the ads, or by the government that gives the subsidies." Or symbolic functioning -- calling attention to those elements "which offer something for everyone. These are things that won't shock anyone, where nothing is at stake..."
It's cool for the rest of the world to engage themselves in a quagmire we started, but we Americans would rather read and be visually enticed by "Annie Leibovitz, our most famous photographer, [who] places celebs side by side with surprisingly personal images of love and loss. An exclusive."
Awesome.
