THE 'WHO'RE' HEADLINE

Bi-monthly Iam magazine is a strange mishmash of content. I believe it's a motivation and inspiration title but I cannot be sure of its focus. It's certainly nothing to do with the American gospel music title or the Australian intellectual asset management magazines of the same name.
The current November/December edition features unusual use of English on the front cover. Whilst the 'who're' contraction is permitted in English it does give a rather misleading impression. 'Who is' would have been a better choice.
The magazine is published by Core Function and sells for 55 baht.

  1. Hi Sanne.

    I am sure there are many whores that are responsible for much happiness in Bangkok, however this cover story focuses on people who have jobs that make them happy, including a floral artist and a multimedia designer.
