'Regional covers'
Adam R has been posting on Bob's observation about the different covers Time magazine publishes for its U.S. and international markets. Note at right the Economist's most recent 'regional' cover for the U.S. The Economist seems to respect its U.S. readers, while Time panders to its U.S. readers. One of the magazines has been growing in the U.S. in recent years. Guess which one. ... I recently read somewhere that Time wanted to become more like the serious-minded Economist. I'd say it still has a long way to go. ... P.S. -- A look at past Economist covers can be found here.
Update -- More here and here on the Bible and Talibanistan covers.
