Letter: Naked truths

Published 27 June 1998

From Cathy Weston, York University

I thought the letter moaning about the cover of the 23 May issue was a bit silly
(Letters, 13 June, p 51). I don’t think the picture was sexist or
exploitative. But I did take a look at some back issues and you do use nude
imagery quite frequently. I find none of it offensive, and think the visual
content of New Scientist is well integrated with the stories, with lots
of exciting graphics. If anything was offensive in the cover article “Hidden
truths” it was surely the drug injector.
