What happens to female "journalists" when they get old?

Corsendonk

I happened to be reading the "Slutty World" last Sunday for the comedy value and I couldn't help noticing how that quality newspaper has a practice of having one or two photos of the female "journalist" beside each of her articles. Now one of the poor girls was crammed into an outfit so small that she needed to remove the bra underneath her shirt for one shot, obviously to help her breathing and she was no spring chicken. The Evening Hear-All seems to have the same practice of making the "journalist" wear a very tight Leinster/Dublin/Ireland jersey every chance they can get. So what happens to these "journalists" when they get too old and the only thing we want to see them wear is a burka? Chicklit writer? Have any of them went on to a serious career as a journalist afterwards?

They become Madam Editor and then they retire to become a consulting editor.

Maybe they rear a family and go freelance/set up business, etc.

Sarah McInerney annoys the hell out of me. She gets the of media time she gets because she's good looking.. but everytime she comes onto VB or any current affairs programme she really just spews the spiel of the ordinary punter. She never has a new perspective on anything. It was sad to see her on the Late Late a couple of months back as she really didn't earn her place on the panel.

Some of them get a job on the Sunday Independent, if their 'reputation' is particularly notorious.

See Mary Kenny in Saturday's Indo magazine.

Or perhaps don't.
