Relevance of the Magazine


News frequency has increased over the time.
We have now news by the minute,second and hour,
You have live news,online news,TV News.

Under such circumstances the weekly news magazines have become antiquated.
Their purpose needs introspection.Are the merely going to summarize the news,
or present the same in the form of propaganda.The task of the editors of the newsmagazines have become all the more complicated.

They have to double up as an editor,creative editor and production manager.
I find current Indian magazines becoming moribund and cliched.
I find websites like NYTimes and TIME more relevant to the times.

Would one day want to be a guest editor in a magazine to see how it functions,
OR add my version or ideas on a competitive manuscript.
