Time magazine is up for sale, along with its fellow former titles in the Time, Inc. family like Sports Illustrated, Fortune, and Money. In November the magazines were bought for $2.8 billion by the magazine conglomerate Meredith, which then promptly announced that they were on the block. Would-be media moguls the world over have been lining up to kick the tires on some of the most storied names in American journalism. And so even in a media landscape in which chaos has long been the norm, the past few months have been a whirlwind for reporters, editors, and business staff at a group of magazines that defined a sort of middlebrow American sensibility for much of the past century.

“There is just a lot of anxiety right now,” said one newsroom staffer, one of more than a half-dozen interviewed for this story. “People don’t know who is going to be signing their paychecks in 90 days or even if they will have jobs. We are all just kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

Both he and Ms Clinton are in Dublin this weekend. Comey is in town to speak at the Irish Film Institute in Temple Bar as part of a promotional tour to plug his explosive political memoir, A Higher Loyalty, while the former secretary of state is in the city to receive an honorary doctorate from Trinity College.

Asked by Sean O’Rourke on RTÉ radio what he might say were he to meet Ms Clinton on the streets of Dublin, Mr Comey said he would like to be able to persuade her that she is wrong in thinking he was the reason she lost the election.

“I’ve never spoken to her, I’ve never met her, but if I did meet her on St Stephen’s Green I would ask her if she’s had the chance to read that part of my book, just about those decisions, because I honestly don’t think you can learn about those decisions and walk away thinking that we were intending to harm her in some way.”

In her own account of her failed presidential bid, Ms Clinton has remarked, “I would have won but for James Comey’s letter on the 28th of October,” referring to the letter Mr Comey sent to the US Congress shortly before the election, saying that he was reopening the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state under President Obama.
