Editor Brown's zeitgeist excuse is a real cop out. I have written for Time and Newsweek. From my perspective Newsweek failed to reinvent itself like Time has successfully done. Brown brought nothing to the table except for a few sensational stories which you correctly pointed out. Indeed, she has not had a success since leaving Conde Nast to launch the ill-fated Talk. As for the Daily Beast, it runs a poor second to the HuffPost. Sadly Brown made the mistake of believing her own PR. The New Yorker and Vanity Fair were the brands--not Tina Brown.
