This ground-breaking book pries open the inner-sanctum of the editors office to give readers a rare glimpse at the sometimes sordid business that goes on within. Here, for the first time, you can read Betty Friedans powerful essay imploring young women to take college seriously; in 1958 this article so unnerved the man who ran McCalls that he refused to run the revolutionary work, inspiring Friedan to later write The Feminine Mystique. Among the other important stories finally brought to light in these pages: Larry Doyles scathing satire of control-freak Hollywood publicists that struck too close to home for editors at US; Mike Sagers gripping account of life in a squalid Palestinian refugee camp that the Washington Post Magazine inexplicably spiked; Jon Entines devastating investigation of the Body Shops deceptive marketing practices that Vanity Fair kept you from readinguntil now.
Killed uncovers evidence of pandemic self-censorship in the magazine and newspaper industries at a time when the breakneck pace of media consolidation has gobbled up countless independent publishers, raising the stakes for contrarian writers and independent-minded readers alike.
