Supposedly, there was "stunned silence" from the staff of Newsweek when they were told that the newsmagazine was for sale.No doubt. I heard that same stunned silence when TV-Cable Week, a magazine Time Inc. was still building office space for, was jettisoned. I heard it when LIFE was folded for the zillionth time—but during the first time in years when it was in the black. I daresay the folks at Time magazine will be hearing it before too long as well. We have search engines to search for our news; what is Time, says one of my friends who used to work there, but a search engine?
Once again, a boatload of journalists will be out of work. They can't all run bed and breakfasts or become professors. Donate to their favorite charity: send work.
