The Times Sunday magazine

While I know that cost considerations drove the NYT to shrink the Sunday magazine, I think it was a mistake. The old oversized format made the Sunday edition special, and the new one makes it feel like the Chronicle magazine or (your city here). There's a loss of cachet. I know the Times is struggling, but cutting costs shouldn't mean gutting the brand. The FT soldiers on with the wonderfully named How To Spend It, and the WSJ is also getting into the game. Both have terrific production values. Having twice urged that Dialogue be shrunk, I take it back - and am grateful that others argued at the time for leaving it where it is. We did reduce it from a larger to a smaller tabloid, which makes it easier to read, but it's good that it's big. Size matters.
