An upscale men's magazine decided to praise their favorite magazine editors'
work, declaring boldly a "New Golden Age" on its cover. Except
there's one small diversity problem: all the editors basking in this new golden
age are white dudes.
Citing a rise in magazine launches and advertising sales, Port magazine editor-in-chief Dan Crowe felt it was time to make a statement about the publishing world he operates in. "There is no doubt about it: we are entering a new golden age of magazine publishing, an age where the magazine is supported by the website and app," he writes. The Internet didn't kill the magazine like everyone thought it would. In fact, he argues, it's doing the opposite. "It’s this ‘support’ that people thought would be the death of the magazine. In fact, with the ‘cross media platform’ working well, it’s formidable to have a magazine, a format that readers and advertisers still adore." So he decided to single out the work of some editors he admires: GQ editor Jim Nelson, Wired editor Scott Dadich, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, The New York Times Magazine editor Hugo Lindgren, Bloomberg Businessweek editor Josh Tyrangiel and New York editor Adam Moss.
