The New York Times Magazine: All the Personality That's Fit to Cover

Is the The New York Times Magazine trying to corner the market on cult of personality pieces? Word has it that this week-end’s cover story features a profile of model turned television “brand”, Tyra Banks, complete with the eye-catching cover shot.

According
to WWD, the feature, written by editor-at-large Lynn Hirschberg, tracks Banks’s rise from her early modeling days to her current television gigs.

Like her hero, Martha Stewart, Banks wants, most of all, for her name to immediately suggest a distinct point of view…it’s girly TV with a punch.
