I grew up on Time. Every issue, cover-to-cover. Somehow I always felt informed. Nowadays I can’t read it. It’s become unreadable. Sad. It should dump its ideologues.
that is one carbon bigfoot…
the humanity!
Add hair salons, barbershops, quick oil change shops and tire stores and it quickly adds up to 3 plus million.
I hear they are planning to change to clear and hold… but for that they need a surge.
Lem is right. The trees, the transport, the waste paper. And for what –so a few clever propagandists can abuse systems & equipment bequeathed by long-gone actual grown-ups?
And if Time has addled off into the fever swamp, Newsweek has gone in even deeper. There’s only one left of the old big three (worth reading that is), and that’s US News & World Purport.
The tire store cum repair shop I patronize offers for my reading pleasure, I kid you not, The New Yorker! but not a single T&A mag. How’s that for a disconnect?
PBS had a doc the other night about big brother google.
The empire strikes back.
I grew up admiring Time magazine. For me it was a passport into an adult world, a world of sophistication, of ideas, of things that mattered. Now it is a slick, superficial and worthless thing. Read Time from cover to cover, I am convinced, and you will know less when you finish than when you started.
Circulation is down. I blame Bush.
No, Barry, anthropogenic global warming is causing newspaper and magazine circulation to shrivel up.
Ray,
Ah, their circulation is a reverse hockey stick!
Time Magazine – one of the most anti-Israel (“Bay-gin, rhymes with Fagin”) and pro PLO magazines out there. I have not read it in years.
Newsweek is just abou as bad, though, and its circulation is supposedly level with last year. Any theories as to why?
For this mid-forty-something reader, the primary reason (regardless of content) that I bypass Time and Newsweek is that they no longer “feel” like magazines.
I mean, gimme a break. If you’re going to charge me close to $5 off the newstand, I want some *heft* in my hand. Oprah, Ladies Home Journal, National Geographic, etc., etc., etc. deliver the magazine print/publication might.
When did Newsweek and Time devolve into a non-glossy, no-binding, pulp-paper fold-over with staples? Why in gawd’s name do they think I’d pay $5 for something that resembles my newspaper’s weekly TV-listing broadsheet or the local school district’s class directory?
When I visit my mother, I thumb through the Newsweaks she has on the coffee table. Gads, has that magazine gone downhill! I really think she subscribes because a 50+ year habit is hard to break. She is also a cast-iron Democrat, so that may have something to do with it.
