Time's Top Ten Magazine Covers of 2008




In what so far appears to be a successful attempt to appeal to every magazine junkie in the country, Time has selected the top ten magazine covers of 2008.  

Writer Arthur Hochstein offers a background and an interpretive narrative on each selection.  Cover number one was The New Yorker, November 17, 2008.   Number four is Entertainment Weekly's delightful parody of The New Yorker's controversial Barry Blitt cover showing the Obama fist bump.   Number seven is Interview's September 2008, a glittery pop-art illustration of Kate Moss.

We have the EW and Interview covers in the Center's current display in Meredith 111.
