On The Media: Playboy covers up

Physical: This is happening all over the world. Playboy has been around for as long as I can remember. Each year a new issue comes out which tries to come up with new ideas. This year was a little different. This year they are not having a nude model on the front.

Psychological: A lot of people are shocked with the new idea of a non-nude front page. The numbers are showing that each year there are more younger aged subscribers. People are wondering why exactly they are covering women up. Some people find playboy to be sexist and are happy they are covering up because women are people too.

Social: At the beginning most of the models were naughty and enjoyed showing themselves off. Quite a few years later Hugh Hefner came around and wanted women who were nice and neighborly. He introduced his first magazine in Europe. Men wanted a magazine they could enjoy and this was exactly what they wanted.

Temporal: Playboy has been around for more than sixty years. It has been shown all over the world although not too popular in places like China. Most of the subscribers are here in the United States. The years go by and playboy keeps things interesting. Well this year went by and playboy revealed something shocking.

Cultural: Quite a few people are surprised and shocked with playboys decision they made this year. Some are happy with the way the magazine is slowly changing. China has had a problem with playboy and other sex magazines for a while now. On the other hand, most of the United States thrive on playboy. They said that there were over 16 million subscribers in the last few years.

I am glad that something is starting to change with playboy. I have never been around people who look at them, or at least they don't in front of me. The magazine hasn't been too much of an issue for me because again I don't look at magazines like it. I'm sure there are quite a few subscribers who are a little upset with what playboy is doing with this years model. One of the ladies they interviewed grew up with a father who enjoyed looking at the magazine. He would often show her article in it to educate her. She seemed like she was happy with the decision they made this year. It was a great on the media to listen to it was very interesting.
