You have some unrelated beef that you’re trying to attach to this story. I’m guessing you think that Arts news is inherently feminine? I could name as many examples as you want that predate the 60s. Rudolph Valentino’s early death was a huge news story. So was Carole Lombard’s.
You don’t even know what sex has to do with this?
Are you young, too young to remember how the 1960s also destroyed media and news?
My point was simple, I regret that one of the things we lost after the 60s was a male dominated news industry, where news was geared to important male oriented issues.
I miss the dry reading of my childhood, and this triviality is the biggest reason that the old news media lost it’s core audience of men, my guess is that you didn’t see the media transition to this because you are too young.
