This is not good news:
TNR's going bi-weekly. It's sad that its "new configuration of owners" feels there isn't enough content to justify weekly publication, and
TNR was better able to justify it than many other weeklies. (And no, "doubling" the number of pages does not hide the circ decline.) They can't say they've been pouring resources into the Web as
TNR's site is a fraction of
NR's. (They do say they're "redesigning" the site with -- more videos.) Still we must remember
TNR is not just a political rag, and we further recall how
The New Leader folded, and an act like this says that if magazines become irrelevant the publishers will have to apportion themselves some blame first.
