M: Most people were interested in the Wright brothers. But I think some of them were worried. You see, here are two men flying kites in the mid- dle of the day when they should be working.

W: Well, when I was twenty, still at college, I was asked to write a weekly column for a local paper. The paper had wanted me to write about famous people, you know, their wonderful lifestyles, the sort of thing people like to read about. Instead, what I did was to concentrate on people who the general public didn't know, but who had something original to say.
M: And you got away with it! Now at that early stage, your family was important. How far did they influence your career choice?
W: My father was a film producer, and my childhood was spent around international actors and directors, so with such influences, I should have become an actress—something my father would have loved. But no, I chose to be a journalist in spite of the wishes of my family. I think the biggest influence was my school, not so much the people but the materials it gave me access to… the hours and hours spent in the library.
M: From being a journalist, you then went on to become an editor. I understand the first magazine you edited, Female Focus, wasn't much of a success?
W: Well, I was the editor for a year, and then I resigned, mainly because of disagreements with the owners. They were reluctant to change things, because they had faith it would eventually make a profit. But when you think of it, the magazine had been losing millions of pounds a year before I became its editor. When I left, it was still losing money but nothing like as much as previously. Also, when I took over, it was selling around 650,000 copies. That soon increased to 800,000, so it was certainly an improvement.
M: And now you are editing Woman's World, and you've made it the best selling women's magazine ever. How do you make people want to read it?
W: For some of my competitors, the most important point is what you put on the cover of your magazine. But they forget faithful readers look beyond that. The real challenge is, how do you encourage a reader to read a serious piece? How are we going to make it an article that people want to read? You have to get their attention. And nothing does that better than a very lively, even shocking, opening line.
M: It is said that you work very hard because you don't trust your employees.
W: That was the case five years ago, when I was appointed. It almost drove me mad. I knew I had the right idea, for example, but I wasn't able to get it done because I didn't have the brilliant writers I have now, or the right staff to read all the material when it came in. I had to read everything about six times, and that was awful! It took me four years to put together the team I wanted, and it would be very unfair to say I don't trust them.
M: Do you sometimes worry that you might lose your fame and wealth?
W: Yes, when you work as an editor, you are praised today and criticized tomorrow. Of course it would be difficult to live without all the… well… material comforts Vm used to, but a smaller income is something I think I could cope with. It wouldn't be the end of the world. Much more serious it would be if the people I work with no longer admired my work, and most of all I want it to stay that way.
M: Tina, thank you very much for joining us today.
