This week I have chosen to analyze the popular culture artifact of People Weekly magazine. People is probably the most popular and most credible magazine devoted to celebrity gossip and sells millions of copies weekly to both subscribers and off the newsstands.
People is not only an excellent example of the cult of celebrity at play but also an important artifact of popular culture. The magazine can be found in airports, malls, drug stores, and grocery stores. It is practically everywhere! And it’s published weekly so it is constantly keeping the public updated on pop culture topics, especially the cult of celebrity.
And consumers can’t get enough of it – People sells millions of copies a week and continues to thrive as a top-selling product even in today’s tough economic times. Their readers are fascinated by their stories from heroic tales to celebrity gossip to the inside scoop of the latest murder story. Basically, People is a magazine that keeps people updated on the latest popular culture topics.
Proof of this is the latest topics they’ve covered on their website – there was an arrest in the Hudson murders; Britney Spears talks about fitness; and Liza Minnelli checks into rehab. These are the types of stories People Weekly covers all the time.
