This is not a points scoring exercise chap, it is you thinking you are right when you have not to my knowledge worked in the industry as I have.
Simply put the magazine has gone from being largely editorial in the most part in the 80's to being far more of a tabletop style magazine as most did over the years, far more arty pictures, far more adverts, far less content. Which is why I never buy magazines anymore, they are a waste of paper in the most part.
I am not saying it is all bad. Nor am I saying I have never looked at or read a copy in the last few years, when I have I have found it to be hugely short on content, large on pictures (hence the LAT jibe) and very short on pages fr something that weekly was asking nearly as much as a monthly. The writing is fine, the news gathering too, that is what journalists do.
If you think that is great, more fool you, I feel for your other decisions in life lol!
