Perhaps another Researcher will understand your question right away,
but I'm not sure myself: what do you mean specifically by
"journalistic analysis examples"?  In other words, what in particular
would constitute a sufficient answer to your question?

Are you looking for articles and opinions on the subject matter?  Such
as:

Abercrombie & Fitch says its summer catalog is sexy in a wholesome
sort of way: "Norman Rockwell of 2001." Critics from conservative
Christians to liberal feminists call it soft porn, and now they've
joined forces to boycott the trendy, youth-oriented retailer.

http://www.xent.com/nov99/0398.html
The fast-growing chain has become known for its creative use of
scantily
clad, muscled bodies in its catalog of preppie clothing. Male and
female
models, in various states of undress, often are wrapped around each
other in
suggestive poses.

FREMONT, Mich., April 22, 2002 /U.S. Newswire/ -- American 
Decency Association (ADA) President Bill Johnson sent an email 
alert urging concerned citizens to return to a boycott of 
Abercrombie & Fitch due to A&F's decision to once again use 
pornography to lure young people to buy its clothing line.
