Principles at VIBE?


Found this interview with again Editor-in-Chief, Danyel Smith!

The subheading:

Vibe's new editor on managing morale after a popular editor is ousted

Thought that would be interesting.

My favorite part

"How would you describe your sensibility as an editor?

I'm tough. I have really high expectations. I love Vibe. I breathe it. I had some great teachers like Joe Levy and Robert Christgau along the way — they were very principled, tough, editor — just because [the subject matter] is music and culture doesn't mean it's any less important to be that way."

So you're saying it's important to be principled with your magazine and uphold morale?!

So how about looking at the statistics of what your leading magazine is contributing to the body image of people everywhere!

Thanks Smith
