[Vision2020] Hardly Fair

[Paul Rumelhart]

To top it off, they are going with a pay wall approach, which means they will be passed over for more freely-available content on the web.

Sayonara, Newsweek.

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."
