This is a "lose your job" issue, downright awful.

This looks like it wasn't retouched. But it's not as bad, I guess.

 

[Benn98]

Are these models or real people? Don't think I've heard of them before. Some reality every now and then can be refreshing, but with Glamour it's month after month, edit after edit. It's getting old to burden your readers with this incessant 'agenda' issues.

Also, that image of Blake isn't 'perfect' to begin with actually.

I tire of magazines using agendas as a delayed attempt to copy whatever has become the hottest topic on social media.

They had their chance to promote real awareness of issues - and make a true impact - back in the days before the internet, when they had more of a monopoly on the readerships to whom they were communicating.

Some magazines did, but for other titles, what they're doing now is no more than lip service.

And in terms of their own survival, print publications have become more of a niche purchase - but instead of being produced as luxury items, magazines insist on turning themselves into second-rate carriers of the sort of content you can find online in an instant. No wonder nobody's buying.
