Yesterday,

WWD also has more information about what T will look like under the helm of Deborah Needleman. Basically, all of the demands that Needleman reportedly asked for were granted by the magazine. T is dropping to 13 issues a year, and will be redesigned to be more general interest. WWD speculates that this might put The Times' weekly Sunday mag in a bit of a jam, in terms of getting advertisers, but a spokeswoman for the paper said, "We think there are different advertisers interested in each brand."

We guess time will tell.
