We don’t want to be a magazine of record, we don’t want to give the re-run of stuff that the reader already knows. That is the way all good weekly magazines in the world are headed… Days of the traditional weekly newsmagazine are over. For that, there’s Google News. We will not put the week’s news on the cover unless it is a very significant event. Then also, as far as possible, we will try to look at it from a fresh and interesting perspective so that it stimulates the reader’s mind.
