Essentially, fashion, travel, "entertainment" and such magazines and newspaper sections are essentially paid placement. Sometimes explicitly, but when your book is mostly bought for the ads anyway, big advertisers and freebies (free hotel stays) get you press. Conversely you'll never see a big expose (e.g. sexual abuse in the the world of fashion models) because that would ruin the vibe.
The tech press used to be the same but it has decayed even beyond that.
I'm not even sure I can say that this is a bad thing. It's not like they are even pretending to be journalism.
