Yes, Every One Of Us Is The Media

Glamour.com is launching yet another blog, this time as part of its upcoming Weddings channel, Mediaweek reported on December 6, 2009:

"The idea for the new channel grew out of strong reader traffic and comments to weddings-related posts on the site, Glamour editor Cindi Leive said. “One of our top blog posts ever was a fun proposal story,” she said. “A lot of women want to read about this.”

Condé Nast recently shut down two of its three bridal magazines, leaving just Brides. But Glamour believes its new online channel will address an underserved audience—women who may or may not be brides-to-be but are surrounded by weddings in any case. Leive is going for a different tone than Brides.com, Condé Nast’s wedding-planning portal.

The channel is centered around a blog and carries the tagline “For brides (and the people who have to put up with them).” Said Leive: “As with the rest of Glamour.com, we think the heart and soul will be the funny, opinionated and passionate debate among the users."

Every year Glamour celebrates "Women of the Year" by paying tribute to courageous and inspiring women who are changing the world. This year the magazine features First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover, accompanied by an interview with new Glamour monthly columnist Katie Couric in which they discuss the importance of role models and mentoring the next generation.

The feature is in Glamour's December 2009 issue, on newsstands November 10.

First Lady Michelle Obama has demonstrated a commitment to helping the next generation of girls expand their horizons and providing them with the information and inspiration to envision themselves as the leaders of tomorrow. Glamour celebrates her for bringing the importance of mentoring to the national forefront with events that connect young girls from around the country with women leaders from business, government, sports, science, academia, the arts and philanthropy. Mrs. Obama enlisted women in the administration to mentor girls in the community.

"In under a year, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of First Lady, throwing open the doors of the White House to families and to children," says Cindi Leive, Glamour editor-in-chief. "That alone earns her icon status -- but we were especially moved by her determination to show girls the power of believing in themselves and their dreams."
