Cosmopolitan is to get even sexier image
Article Abstract:
Under new editor Kate White, Cosmopolitan plans to create a more provocative product for today's women. Women in the 1990's are more interested in discussion of sexual matters and this is apparent as more women's periodicals begin to include more features on these topics. However, the magazine wants to do this while retaining its advertiser base and circulation, that is higher than most of its competitors.
