AWW does Australian Women a Disservice

The Australian Women Weekly launches ROYALS in bold, gold caps for $9.95. With a glamour shot of Kate on the front – welcoming her to Australia – this glossy features “Latest Royal News, Behind-the-Scenes Stories and Photographs” (read “intrusive gossip”) reining in not only the heirs to our throne but also dashing Harry, Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace, Mary of Denmark and Prince Charles’ Garden. We ask the AWW “Where is the balance?” as other news outlets are accused of being ‘unpatriotic’. This banal trivia does Australian women a disservice by belittling their discernment while serving no educative purpose that WfaAR can divine. However, we assume it sells.
