THE SOUL SEARCHING OF TIME MAGAZINE CONTINUES
The new editor of TIME magazine speaks today to The New York Times:
Weve traditionally been a mirror, and to me, we more and more have to be a lamp, Mr. Stengel said, invoking the title of the study of Romantic literature by M. H. Abrams. As a lamp, youre shining a light on something.
"One possible flaw with this plan is that the common Washington tactic of releasing politically damaging news late on Friday would mean that some news would be too late for the current issue of the magazine. Mr. Stengel said he wasnt worried.
How much of that bad news on Friday afternoon do we have in the magazine on Monday? Not much, really, he said. Thats why the Internet was invented.
