I think it's wonderful. The disparity in the modeling world makes me sad for our younger girls and women. I think they are trying to change the sample size but it will probably be a few more years before that takes place.
Are you sure? Because i was under the impression a good portion of the photos are done by the magazines.
Yes, the vast majority of photos in magazines are stock photos except for main features and in fashion magazines, layouts. Otherwise, the rest are stock.

Well to my understanding those are the pictures they are changing. The ones they actually control. Obviously when it comes to ad's and such you are bound by what the company puts out

Well the magazine does hold discretion on what it runs - ad or not. But it is impossible to publish professionally and not use photoshop. I do not believe Seventeen or any other magazine will abolish the use of it.

Nope at least not anytime soon i imagine. As long as young girls drive sales in makeup, and such they have cause to continue using it. That drops then of course the magazine now has no motivators to use such ads/ models. I never liked seventeen anyway.
Seventeen magazine has made a pretty impressive pledge -- no more skin and bones girls in its pages.[LEFT]

Since when did Seventeen have "skin and bones" models, anyway? It's not high fashion and, at least when I had a subscription a decade ago, it features nothing but young celebrities and catalog-esque models.
I think targeting magazines for their photoshopping completely misses the point. I really don't care if a magazine smooths a wrinkled dress, hides dark undereyes, or covers a blemish. They're just trying to creating a pretty picture, who cares if it's real or not?
What these petitions SHOULD target are the advertisements, the hair and makeup manufacturers. They're selling a product that isn't even real because they're always combined with photoshop. It's a blatant lie and I think far more sinister than showing the latest teen dream acne free on the cover of Seventeen.
I have never seen skin and bone girls in Seventeen.
Usually they have a fashion section for different looks of girls of all body types, they include the larger girls and smaller girls, they encompass everything which is pretty realistic IMO.
I was so pleased that they try to keep all of their content pure and natural and the magazine itself really encourages girls to have more self confidence and to accept themselves.
