A profile of the magazine’s new editor, Columbia alum and "journalistic wunderkind" (their words) Frank Foer, in the latest issue of the Columbia alumni magazine reminds us that new owners CanWest expect TNR "to turn a profit in three years, which is unheard of for an opinion magazine." Yikes.
Perhaps someone at CanWest should heed the words of New Yorker editor Henrik Hertzberg, who told Columbia, "I hope they don’t expect it to make money… In that respect the New Republic has been an almost constant failure since 1914"—the year it was founded.
