Cosmo's Joyce Chang Replaces Lucy Danziger as Editor in Chief of Self

The news comes not long after the recent events of "tutugate," where Self found itself under criticism for running an insensitive feature mocking a tutu-clad marathon runner who also happened to be a cancer survivor. However, rumors about an editorial shakeup have apparently been swirling at Self for months.

In addition to Cosmopolitan, Chang's resume includes stints at Marie Claire, People StyleWatch, People Magazine, Lucky, The New York Times Magazine and Allure.

How about not mocking the cancer survivor marathon runner?

SELF Magazine apologizes for photo feature making fun of "lame" tutu



This magazine chose the wrong runner to mock. Health and fitness publication SELF Magazine is getting flack for running a photo making fun of a tutu-wearing marathon runner... who happens to be a cancer survivor.

Self Magazine Shames Cancer Survivor For Running Marathon In A 'Lame' Tutu

When Monika Allen, a brain cancer survivor, got an email from SELF asking for permission to feature a photo of her running a marathon, she thought that was pretty cool. The photo, snapped at last year's Los Angeles Marathon, features Allen wearing a Wonder Woman costume accentuated by a frilly tutu. She looks awesome.

But the magazine's editors thought she looked "lame." It indeed ran in the April issue, except that it was prominently featured on SELF's "+BS Meter," which made fun of the alleged "racing tutu epidemic." Monika did not know that she was giving permission to be mocked.
