Diversity

Vanity Fair recently released a magazine cover with their projections of who the young female “It” stars of the future will be. The cover showed thin, white females. The lack of ethnic and size diversity has drawn criticism.

It was disappointing that the criticism wasn’t based on an analysis of previous years projections made by Vanity Fair, possibly pointing out stars that Vanity Fair may have overlooked. An objective and fact based approach may have validated the critics claim and gave the claims some leverage to edge Vanity Fair to improve their method of selection.

The Journaliast should do a better job of investigative reporting so what she writes doesn’t come off as just whining.

I think it is time to lead with the data.
