Victoria Hearst Takes On Hearst Corporation's Cosmopolitan Magazine

WASHINGTON, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by Brimstone Services:

WHO: Victoria Hearst, the granddaughter of publisher William Randolph Hearst of the Hearst Corporation empire and the Founder and President of Praise Him Ministries in Montrose, CO; Dawn Hawkins, Executive Director, National Center on Sexual Exploitation; Dr. Miriam Grossman, MD, board certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist.

WHAT: Press conference to launch "Cosmo Harms Minors" campaign and to release results from national survey on Cosmopolitan Magazine and minors. Coalition demands that Cosmopolitan Magazine be displayed behind blinders or in a wrapper and not sold to minors.

WHEN: Wednesday, April 22, 2015

TIME: 10:00am EDT; light breakfast and coffee served at 9:00am EDT

WHERE: National Press Club, Lisagor Room, 529 14th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20045

WHY: In recent years, Cosmopolitan Magazine has blatantly started to target young girls to expand their audience and increase profits. This staple of the supermarket checkout line has steadily declined from a somewhat inspirational women's magazine to a verbally, and many times visually, pornographic "how-to" sex guide encouraging readers to engage in violent and dangerous sexual acts in every issue.

Cosmo is leading the way in further desensitizing young women and girls to accept and participate in the pornified and sexually violent culture around them. The "Cosmo Harms Minors" campaign seeks to inform, expose and equip communities to take action and protect minors.
