The New York Times will now only publish twelve issues of T style magazine a year, down from fifteen. At least it didn't get canned completely, like Play, the sports supplement that closed last year because of poor advertising. Which yet again proves that in the centuries'-old war between fashion and sports, fashion always wins. [NYP]

Update: A New York Times spokeswoman has clarified T is scaling back to 13 issues a year, not 12 as the Post reported. She explained T publishes four fashion issues a year and two of those will be absorbed into the regular New York Times Sunday magazine.
