Apparently, in between ditching Seventeen magazine, grabbing bylines on Forbes.com and launching her own, extremely mysterious multimedia tween franchise, Atoosa Rubenstein has found time to stop in at NYU and share some of her journalistic insights.
Which, apparently, made quite the impression on the girls—and the (metrosexual) guys—who take “Digital Journalism” and have a vested interest in women’s magazines!
But don’t just take our word for it!
Writes student/blogger Katy Donahue:
To be honest, after class I looked back on this post I had just written, wondering whether I went too far. I found Rubenstein likeable and I admired her honesty. Because of that, I couldn’t help feel a pang of guilt for calling her the ‘Toos. But, I chose to leave it. I did think that some of Seventeen’s articles that were published under her were a bit outrageous and sometimes disagree with some of her attempts to reach out to young girls. But perhaps that has more to do with my personal lack of interest in teen mags.
And while we’re glad that Katy’s seen the error of her ways (”the ‘Toos” is so 2005 anyway!) and amused by her “personal lack of interest in teen mags” (how unlike the rest of her college-aged peers!) we’re actually still having trouble getting past the first line of that paragraph. The one that begins, “to be honest, after class I looked back on this post I had just written…” Which, you know, rather awesomely implies that Katry was awkwardly blogging away throughout Atoosa’s entire (inspirational!) speech.
Or at least during the parts where Atoosa started reminiscing about CosmoGIRL!

Who cares? There wasn’t even a point to this entry. I’m getting so sick of reading about this woman. Post something interesting already.
