Shape Magazine Anti-Tanning Article Coming!

Don Smith · 10-20-2002, 10:10 PM

FYI To Ask Don's Army:

I have just learned that Shape Magazine plans to run a future anti-tanning article that will use "more than a dozen dermatologists" as their sole source of information.

Biased? You bet!

Are they interested in hearing "the rest of the story" from us? Nope! Their attitude is - don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up.

I will post a letter I have written to the Editor of Shape Magazine tomorrow and I will organize an E-Campaign to make it easy for each of you to send YOUR protest to the editor.

The strategy is to "put them on notice" that certain statements made by the dermatology community are false, deceptive, misleading and scientifically unsubstantiated (FDMSU) and hope that Shape will decide to exercise "journalistic responsibility" and not print these blatantly FDMSU statements.

We have work to do!

Hope we can detour them a bit. Thanks Don.

How do you get this information before it is published? Glad you did.
