Yowza! You go, girl! . (13 Jun 2006)
Since Jann Wenner, 'Rolling Stone' magazine publisher, chose Bonnie Fuller to be 'Us Weekly' magazine editor-in-chief in 2002, she has worked the media equivalent of a miracle. Not only has she stanched its two-year financial crisis and boosted newsstand sales 30 percent, she has also turned a magazine once scorned as the "poor man's People" into a trend-setting phenomenon. So swift and striking was the turnaround that Advertising Age recently anointed the 46-year-old Fuller "editor of the year". She has provoked 'People' magazine into playing catch-up with a handful of copycat editorial tricks. Then Germany's powerful Bauer Publishing group launched a new challenger: an 'Us' look-alike called 'In Touch Weekly.' Some critics decry Us as yet another symptom of the tabloidization of mainstream magazines, where photo spreads are edging out prose. One reason Fuller's makeover has shaken up the market is that it has blurred old-line magazine categories.Full Text Word Count:1242
