Presumably because magazine editors are too busy looking at cat pics on the Internet to actually read through the 700-word piece and retain any of the information therein, WWD decided to break their findings down into a mnemonic device. If you're racking your brain trying to figure out who to book for your upcoming fashion cover, don't despair — instead, refer to the Three T's of Newsstand Sales: "Twentysomethings, TV, and Twilight." (Yes, Twilight. Our culture is cool because it's dictated by teenagers with underdeveloped frontal lobes.)
To give magazines a hand, I thought I might offer some alternative ABC's of newsstand sales, just in case WWD's suggestions seem too depressing.
