- Abstract
As part of the booming health and wellness industry in the United States, women’s fitness magazines contribute to and reflect the cultural conversation. To better understand how these publications both influence and respond to changes in fitness culture, the study analyzes a decade (2012-2021) of “cover lines” from three of the most popular magazine titles in the category (Health, Shape and Women’s Health). Using critical discourse analysis, rhetorical themes (editorial biases, framing or perspectives) and rhetorical strategies (commonly employed techniques to attract readers) are identified and discussed.
