Erica Bartle
Erica Bartle is editor of the popular media blog site Girl With A Satchel (http://girlwithasatchel.blogspot.com), a sort of Top Gear meets Media Watch for the glossy magazine industry.
In her editorials, Bartle attempts to put a positive spin on the oft-maligned business of gloss, while keeping magazines accountable for dubious editorial practises and tracking industry trends.
Bartle has written for Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Marie Claire, Girlfriend (where she acted as deputy editor) and The Walkley Magazine, and can be heard discussing the glossies on Mediaweek’s regular magazine podcasts.
