Is Time Inc. Being Pushed Out?

Time Warner spinning off titles.

There might be a lot less Time in that Time Warner logo—and that's because Time Warner is ditching their lowly magazine titles, writes Daivd Carr in The New York Times. Time Warner is reportedly in talks with the Meredith Corporation—publisher of Better Homes, Ladies’ Home Journal and more—to create a new, publicly traded company that includes much of Time Inc.’s magazines and Meredith’s titles as well. It's just the latest example of a company pushing out the unwanted print publications, writes Carr, a trail first blazed by News Corp.'s decision last year to separate their entertainment and print assets. If Time Warner loses so much of Time Inc., it proves how much times have changed in the magazine world.
