David Carr liked the New Republic's recent profiles of
George Allen and
Newt Gingrich and its pieces on Darfur and New Orleans. "The magazine needs a revival," he writes. "The intellectual gymnastics, humorless tutorials and abundant moralism emanating from the dour young faces at The New Republic over the last decade meant that the magazine not only lost money -- something it has done efficiently since its founding in 1914 -- but readers as well." Circulation has dropped to just over 60,000 from 101,000 in six years. || Related
