[Vision2020] Hardly Fair

[Don Coombs]

It seems hardly fair. I was looking forward to not renewing my subscription
to "Newsweek" because of its swerve into trashiness, under the guidance of
Tina Brown. But now there will be no print version of the magazine after
Dec. 31, and so nothing to not renew.

"Newsweek" becomes just one more magazine to suffer from the application of
Tina's talents.

Of course the all-electronic version of the magazine is going to be "fab."
And of course "Newsweek" is just one print publication that is facing hard
times.

As Mary Elizabeth Williams put it on Salon, "The days of sitting in the
bathtub with a magazine and a beer are, someday very soon, going to be the
days of just sitting in the bathtub with a beer."
