INSIDER (new Rose cover) replied on: 7/1/2004 1:34:19 AM The Age (18/6/04) The Insider is yet another sophisticated, glossy spanker for looking, reading and thinking, whose first edition went on sale for $9.95 this week. Its blurb promises "Australian culture with a twist of influence, inspiration, shock and defiance" and it delivers a little in articles and media-art on subjects ranging from pornography-cum-cinema, the rise and rise of gossip culture, Jet, and Anthony Mundine. But this Volume One taster is disappointingly tilted - as so many "serious" magazines tend to be - toward articles about men who do, and women who look great. Two shortish pieces that say not much about actresses Abby Cornish and Rose Byrne - ie: "...Up close, Rose Byrne is cuter than your best friend's little sister..." (Wha'?) - don't restore the balance. A blind-freddy press-release-perfect piece on Melbourne label Scanlan & Theodore's success and collaboration with noted photographers during the past several years also appears to be its only nod to promised coverage of fashion, but The Insider is nonetheless a tantalising promise that just needs to be kept, dammit. I'll give it a burl. http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/06/17/1087245042564.html
