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.
What a friendly thing to say. This could be good news though, I would hate to see a magazine with such a long history fold. It appears that ad sales are down, and they have the right wing on their ass over the scandal with the Iraq blogs. This is going to be harder to get through than the Stephen Glass affair because most hackers don't want to be known - so they won't come forward to defend themselves.
