New York Magazine
That's essentially what managing editor
Richard Stengel is striving for when he says he wants Time to "lead the conversation," says
Joe Hagan. He writes: "Stengel has already given Time magazine a narrower and sharper editorial profile, with more covers about war and politics than usual and almost no pop culture (
Anna Nicole Smith didn't make the cut) or soft social reporting (like the ever-popular Jesus Christ covers). He has aggressively ramped up the opinion in Time, hiring established, brand-name white guys who telegraph wonkishness."
