New Times was an American glossy bi-weekly national newspaper published from 1973[1] to 1979[2] by George A. Hirsch.[3]

History

Hirsch had been publisher of

Harper's and The Atlantic. The first issue appeared in October 1972.[4] Initially, the magazine featured a marquee roster of the era's best-known new journalists, including Jimmy Breslin, Pete Hamill, Jack Newfield, Mike Royko, and Dick Schaap
.

However, as the magazine's ad revenues lagged, contributions from the big names soon dried up, and under the editorship of

JFK assassination "cover up" thesis.[9][10][11]

Contributors

Contributors were often freelance writers, many just out of college, including

Robert Shrum was a political columnist. The late NBC television executive Brandon Tartikoff
was an occasional contributor.

Typical of the magazine's later direction, one issue featured a cover depicting

Charles Grassley
as the so-called King of Dumb.

New Times never found a sufficient base of advertisers. The magazine's final issue was published on January 8, 1979.[4][14] Hirsch then launched The Runner magazine,[15] one of the first of a new era of specialty "active lifestyle" monthlies in 1979, after initially creating it as the New York City Marathon's official program in 1977.
