averysloan commented on Betrayed by the Zeitgeist she once channeled, Tina Brown invokes it one last time

I subscribed to Newsweek for many years beginning when I went to college in 1963 and enjoyed reading the news and columnists. However, as the years moved on, new hot shot editors came in and re-invented the wheel every four or five years, usually for the worse. More recently, these makeovers always included shrinking the typeface to to the point that I resorted to using a magnifying glass to read the copy. And so, reluctantly, my subscription was not renewed 4 years ago, and I started one with TIME and went through the same rigmarole with them and non-renewed. I see the same thing happening with other popular publications and I guess the publishers think they can shrink their way to breakeven. Avery Sloan Baton Rouge
