In my opinion, yes Ebony magazine has become somewhat superficial. In my opinion journalism has become superficial. 5, 10, 15 years ago a journalist wrote the truth, used researched and investigated facts, whether or the not public wanted to hear it or not. As a writer for my school's paper, I know firsthand, what it means to try to reach out to the masses. I wrote and editorial (my first) some liked it, some did not. That is what journalism and news is, everyone is not going to like what everyone has to say. I would not consider myself a good and fair writer if I did not write articles to make the readers think. I feel Ebony magazine needs to go back to writing articles that are not merely for entertainment, instead for information purposes also. A good magazine/newspaper has a balance.
