Zalfie's target audience are pre and early teens yet Company seemed to aim their magazine at 17+ girls. And as for not giving anyone else a turn, well a lot of mags & brands are guilty of that! In this industry it's not what you know it's who you know; Kayla is probs mates with the former editor or something!<br /><br />Jade x<br />Beauty Butterfly | <a title="UK Beauty Blog" href="http://www.thebeautybutterfly.com" rel="nofollow">UK Beauty Blog</a>girl_upnorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744994669206884897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-47066642254885868902014-09-15T23:22:44.320+01:002014-09-15T23:22:44.320+01:00I'm not gonna miss Company, but I will miss yo...I'm not gonna miss Company, but I will miss your posts! I feel like Company's changed over the years - and I don't think its just because I've got older. Back in the day, it was cool and edgy, and as an 'alternative' kinda girl, I loved reading it. The music section was great, I remember them having a monthly page where a music writer/blogger/someone generally involved in music would take over the page. There are bits I still love - Gem's column is always a fun read, and I like how a lot (not all!) of their fashion is affordable. <br /><br />Although I do like how they've championed bloggers, I feel like it's only really been a certain 'type' of fashion-specific blogger that they've really given the spotlight too. It's a shame, as the 'old Company' attitude would have been much more accepting of a wider range of bloggers that didn't look like they've just walked off an Urban Outfitters shoot. And I don't get the obsession with YouTuber culture all of a sudden - what happened to the cool, quirky Company? They definitely wouldn't have fawned over Alfie Deyes and the like. I guess it's not my target audience though...never mind.<br /><br />I might buy this issue just for old times sake, but I think online is a better option for them now. This has turned into a bit more of an essay than I was expecting...<br /><br />Milly // <a href="http://www.mini-adventures.com" rel="nofollow">Mini Adventures</a>Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943463515742105850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-89642225999047570762014-09-15T20:06:02.192+01:002014-09-15T20:06:02.192+01:00Aw I love Company but the mistakes were shocking! ...Aw I love Company but the mistakes were shocking!

I would be interested in the article about young people voting though. I'm fascinated to see what the participation of this group is in the Scottish referendum.
