This April 10 New York magazine article talks about the new generation of editors at America's high-brow magazines. The headline is Brainy Young Things.

The four mentioned are Roger Hodge of Harper's, Franklin Foer of The New Republic, James Bennet of the Atlantic and Philip Gourevitch of Paris Review.

An excerpt:

 In keeping with the magazine’s promotioning traditions, (Foer is) the youngest of the four, at 31. And while he used to work for Slate, he’s a believer in print. “The thing that sort of unites us is that we’re all trying to preserve a style of journalism that flies in the face of the onslaught of the blogosphere,” he says. “You get the sense that if you grow up editing blogs, you have a different cognitive framework.”
