Years ago my old boss, Frank Smith, and I were in Penn Station on the way to a client visit in Philadelphia. He glanced at the newsstand and did a double take at
Ms. magazine. A typo on the cover?! We both bought copies. He said, "Well, someone just lost a job." My heart sank for that person. By the time we arrived at the 30th Street Station in Philly, all of the issues had already been pulled from the shelves.
On the news later that week, the editor of
Ms. magazine went on record to share that no one lost a job. In fact, a gazillion people within the magazine had seen/reviewed that cover and all of them, collectively, were culpable. Checks and balances. Mutual accountability.
Love that.
