Corporate bodies

When is The Scotsman going to move into the 21st century and stop using photos of scantily clad women in the Business section?

Wednesday’s photo relates to an article on underwear firms, but any excuse will do for regularly including such pictures on “page 3”, such as women in bikinis for articles on the success or otherwise of holiday companies, etc. I note the editor of the Business section is male, so assume he is okaying these images, if not actively encouraging them!

Before your male readership responds by suggesting I should “lighten up”, how about regularly including photos of scantily clad men instead and let’s see if they can see the relevance? Wouldn’t seem so amusing then, would it?
