In Praise of Entertainment Weekly

Tyler Cowen and Seth Roberts praise their favorite magazine:

Too many readers are too concerned about affiliating themselves with prestigious magazines, rather than learning something. EW takes us to new places because the magazine covers only what is new, or newly reissued. Other cultural contributions (dare I call them “products”?) simply don’t exist for the magazine. That’s what is truly startling about the pages, not what is there but what’s not there. We need to take that seriously, as our culture already operates on that basis.
