      25. TNR has always been a very niche-magazine: ultra-divergence in the current lingo.

      26. I mean, a magazine that supports the Democratic party, the Contras, Charles Murray and gay rights. That's a narrow demographic.

      27. In some ways, the internet allows ultra-niche-y publications to flourish. This very twitter feed is one example.

      28. But the internet publications that make money (so far) seem more convergence orientated: that's what click-bait is all about.

      29. TNR has been opposite of click-bait. Want 17 reasons why Leon Wieseltier is a hawk on Jerusalem but opposes Netanyahu? Click here!

      30. It all goes back to money: old money (Sewing machine money) versus new money (Facebook money).

      31. Old money (seweing machine money) was willing to buy prestige by paying for 8,000 James Wood reviews of Toni Morrison.

      32. New money (Facebook money) is less deferential to claims of high culture. Prides itself on innovation, "beaking shit" & new toys.

      33. The dream of finding a rich patron who will allow you to publish what you want has to be given up, I think.

      34. The Nation is in a healthier position because it has a wider base of readers who want their product. Also true I think of Mother Jones.

      35. New York Review still makes money thanks to special advertising niche they enjoy. That's better than a rich patron.

          36. So no real conclusion except that the challenge, as always, is to build and maintain institutions that let writing flourish.
