This just in from Blair Adams at Kenilworth…who picked it up from a tweet on Folio:
“In an interesting move, TIME magazine will run the cover art from its December 12, 2011 issue again on its January 16, 2012 issue. The photo of Mitt Romney’s picture is the same in both treatments, but the headlines and positioning of the image covering the upcoming edition will change. See the covers, and read TIME managing editor Rick Stengel’s letter about the Iowa caucuses as well as the cover decision, below.
This ought to be interesting to see how these covers sell. We will report back on this when sales have firmed up.
