Muslim journalist Noor Tagouri poses in a hijab for Playboy
Becomes first woman to wear a hijab in the magazine
Playboy is featuring a woman wearing a hijab for the first time in the October issue.
The magazine includes an interview with 22-year-old Libyan American journalist Noor Tagouri, who's a reporter for the online news outlet, Newsy. The accompanying photo shows a fully-clothed Tagouri wearing the traditional Muslim head scarf in front of a red, white and blue backdrop. Playboy stopped publishing nude photos earlier this year.
The interview is part of the magazine's 2016 Renegades series, which highlights individuals who don't stick to the status quo of their respective fields.
Tagouri says the hijab has helped her create trust with her interview subjects as a reporter. She says as a Muslim woman, she knows "what it's like to be misrepresented in the media."
She went on to observe "I just do the best I can to not worry about people who get upset because they don't like something that I wear or say."
Tagouri aspires to become the first anchor wearing a hijab on a commercial TV station in the U.S.
