That challenge may fall largely on Cooper Hefner, 25, who replaced his 90-year-old father as Playboy's chief creative officer last summer. "The people who grew up with Playboy magazine are starting to fade away so they will have to figure out what the millennial generation wants in the 21st century if they are going to survive," Husni said.
Now that nudity is back in its fold, Playboy is still going to have to figure out how to appeal to a younger audience that has grown up in a digitally driven age where nudity has become commonplace.
"They are always going to have the stereotype as a nude magazine." "Playboy and the idea of non-nudity is sort of an oxymoron," said Husni, a journalism professor at the University of Mississippi. Magazine expert Samir Husni said the prohibition on nudity probably alienated far more readers than it attracted. "Today we're taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are." "Nudity was never the problem because nudity isn't a problem," Cooper Hefner wrote.
The decision to show less skin was made under the regime of Playboy Enterprises CEO Scott Flanders, who left the Los Angeles company last May to run eHealth Inc., a health insurance exchange.Ĭooper Hefner, Playboy's chief creative officer and the son of magazine founder Hugh Hefner, called the nudity ban a mistake Monday in a post on his Twitter account. The 63-year-old magazine had banished naked women from its print edition because it felt the content had become passe in an era of online porn that is just a click away on personal computers and smartphones.
The about-face came Monday with the release of Playboy's March-April issue. Playboy celebrated the reversal on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #NakedIsNormal. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Naked women are back in Playboy magazine, ending a year-old ban on the nudity that made the magazine famous.
