I LOVE THIS COVER OF GLOBE!

It’s very rare that I will offer such effusive praise right off the bat.

But, this story is genius.

Did anyone notice how low-key Oprah Winfrey was at last week’s Democratic National Convention?

Well, today Globe Magazine presents a theory that Oprah is in a feud with Michelle Obama.

This is smart for several reasons:

  • It picks up on the simple observation that Oprah was MIA at the DNC.  (Yeah, she was quoted as crying but her visibility was VERY LOW.)
  • Many more people love Oprah than they do Michelle – which means Globe gets where their reader is at
  • It offers readers a strong political story – but it doesn’t feel political
  • It’s a strong alternative to the Sarah Palin story, which dominates the category this week

Bottom Line: Well done!
