Idolator

The New York Times takes a moment to look at the dueling media endorsements of Sheryl Crow, who is currently plugging both the Wall Street Journal (at least until Rupert Murdoch gets his hands on it) and Self magazine. While the spokesperson for the Journal claims that Crow's ad is to "show readers that it's not just 50-year-old white men" that read the paper, it might be reasonable to assume that the paper is also looking to lure new new 50-year-old white male readers by giving them the idea that now they have a conversation starter with Crow if they ever cross paths.
