But "The Devil Wears Prada 2" also shows us just how much fashion and media have changed since 2006. Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, is returning as editor-in-chief to the former-top-dog fashion magazine "Runway" — but the world she reenters has changed dramatically: Print media is fighting for survival.
