Time Magazine: The Last Of The Big Newsweeklies (NPR)
The decision by the corporate owner of Newsweek to put the magazine up for sale has once more raised the question in journalism circles as to whether there’s a role — or any future at all — for newsweekly magazines. Yet over at the historic Time-Life Building, editors putting out the nation’s leading such magazine are much more sanguine about their fate. “In terms of our category, we’re not only the last guy standing – we’re the only guy standing,” says Rick Stengel, Time’s managing editor.

Um, doesn’t “last guy standing” typically mean “only guy standing.” Maybe there’s a reason newweeklies are dying — if this is the kind of slogan their managing editor (!) produces.
