Ah, the world is abuzz about the next Royal Wedding. And while Prince William and Kate Middleton\u00c2\u00a0are enjoying their now public engagement,\u00c2\u00a0the magazine world is going nuts!<\/p>\n

In\u00c2\u00a0the fast-paced\u00c2\u00a0world of internet news, editors better be prepared to run their stories as soon as\u00c2\u00a0major news breaks. But to get the readership, they better have a unique take on the event. For some smart editors that means preparing the story in advance – kind of like in the case of celebrities’ obituaries, which are often written years before the person actually dies (see Marilyn Johnson’s “The Dead Beat” book<\/a>).<\/p>\n

My favorite was Brides<\/strong> magazine, which\u00c2\u00a0was the best prepared with a great feature story with sketches of wedding dresses<\/a> created by famous designers specifically for Kate to consider.<\/p>\n

The other approach to covering a major news event of this caliber is doing a blog post with an unusual (did I say scandalist?) take.<\/p>\n

Vanity Fair<\/strong> did a story on historical events briefer<\/a> than Prince William and Kate’s engagement (I have to say although somewhat mean, it’s kind of funny)<\/p>\n

Marie Claire<\/strong> ran a story asking whether Prince William and fiance Kate Middleton’s engagement\u00c2\u00a0will last<\/a>. (This one is just\u00c2\u00a0plain mean and largely unnecessary).<\/p>\n

I think the Royal Wedding – said to take place in spring or summer 2011<\/a> -\u00c2\u00a0and all its details from Princess Diana’s engagement ring to the wedding dress will give fodder to\u00c2\u00a0journalists for months.<\/p>\n

I also bet it will have a major impact on wedding fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
