Jane Magazine Needs to Move Out

Writing in mediaPost’s Magazine Rack, Larry Dobrow comments on girly-mag Jane has gone downhill resorting to Paris Hilton covers, out of date Gwyneth references and non-sensical Jude Law references. Dobrow thinks Jane needs to move on writing, “… it doesn’t take someone in the mag’s demographic crosshairs to notice that lethargy seems to have set in.

This magazine once thrived owing to its cool-older-sister persona, yet the February issue suggests that this cool older sister hasn’t found her way out of the bedroom above mom and dad’s garage.”

We can’t really comment as we don’t routinely read Jane but we’ll take Dobrow’s word for it. We here the new teen cool can be found in old standby Seventeen.
