In These Times - Layout

Layout

Each In These Times issue includes Frontline, Features, Views, and Culture sections.

• The Frontline department consists of several recent news items. A hallmark of Frontline is the Apall-o-meter which highlights particularly ironic or astonishing news quirks.
• The Features section is made up of several longer pieces, including the cover story, and analyses.
• The Views department consists of three to four opinion columns.
• The Culture portion of the magazine features book, film, theatre and music reviews. Other elements of popular culture such as television programming, and fashion are critically examined in this section.

Most In These Times issues run political cartoons from Tom Tomorrow or Terry Laban.

The magazine's tagline has evolved over the years from "The Independent Socialist Newspaper" in 1976, to "The Alternative News Magazine" in the early 1990s, to "With liberty and justice for all..." today.
