The Niall Ferguson storm may finally be over, but the latest out of Newsweek isn’t great: Creative director Dirk Barnett, who led the Tina Brown redesign of the magazine and revamped a handful of titles before that, will once again go do his thing, this time at the hoping-to-be-hip New Republic.

*This post previously referred to Hughes as a billionaire; he’s not quite there.
