Love in the Time of Television

Theme Magazine, NYC. Founders: John Lee and Jiae Kim. Editor: Rain Noe
***disclaimer: as a feminist who has been sensitive to reactions of female readers, I need to point out that my Korean-American editor, who is brilliant but male, chose to add the word “slew” to the first sentence. I remember this clearly because I do not typically use that word. I’m sure I have the drafts to back this up. It is also notable that I was asked to write this article by my Korean-American editors-in-chief: very happy to do so, but I have detected some sensitivity in the responses of my readers. For example, I might not have chosen to highlight the quote that is enlarged; that was the editors-in-chief’s emphasis, as it’s a graphic design choice. Obviously there are a number of varying human characteristics described throughout the article according to the carefully-designed content of the tv shows, which I chose from among perhaps eight or so box-sets offered me by my editors-in-chief. I do believe my descriptions of the shows are very precise.
