Both CNN Money and its sister Web site Moneyish are sites that have become focused on women's issues in order to try and expand the base of finance news, which is mostly read by men. This is Big Media's way of pandering to women.
CNN Money is bad, but be forewarned if you stumble onto Moneyish, because it's far worse. It's edited and written
almost entirely by leftie women (as opposed to female financial writers) and has a focus similar to magazines aimed at teenage girls.
Right now the main page of Moneyish has a story headlined
"Five Brave LGBTQ Teachers Tell Moneyish How They Came Out To Their Students." And that's just a start.
The rest is as bad if not worse. What does any of it have to do with money? Very little.
My feeling is that in doing this, they're wrecking their brand. They're not going to please women who are really into finance with social justice stories (others do it better) and they're also going to alienate their male base. I'm pretty fanatical about keeping up with financial news and don't even have them in my favorites.
I'd love to know who comes up with marketing ideas like "Let's water down the brand so we can bring in more women readers!" Or "Let's make our teen girl magazine all about leftist politics!"
People talk about the manosphere demeaning women, but Big Media is genuinely trashing women by 1). Saying they're too emotionally-driven to read actual financial news and 2). Acting like teenage girls are Play-Doh that can be molded by politically-driven editors.
Teen Vogue (a big culprit in this) has failed and will shut down its print edition. Self Magazine nixed its print edition last year. I'm guessing CNN Money will "rebrand" soon and "Moneyish" won't be around within a year.
