I can’t express my love for Lost enough. For a while, I was almost convinced The Onion produced the clip “Final Season Of ‘Lost’ Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than” about me.

The New York Review of Magazines describes itself as “an unabashed celebration of magazines,” so it’s no wonder the annual magazine would eventually turn its attention to “The Most Widely Read Magazine in the World.”

5Q+1: Meet Tim Townsend in St. Louis
St. Louis may be best known for its Gateway Arch, but for GetReligion regulars, perhaps it’s best known for Tim Townsend. We’re regularly reading reports from Townsend, who has been the religion reporter at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch since June 2004. He also writes a news analysis column, called “Keep the Faith,” and oversees the newspaper’s faith blog Civil Religion. He previously covered personal finance and consumer news for The Wall Street Journal.

Cool kids on the block
Every year, I usually take a few minutes to go through Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People package to Google a lot of names I’ve never heard before. It probably says more about the magazine’s editors and who they want as subscribers than anything else.

Politics colored glasses
Maybe it’s the nature of the beast that when you write a profile of the House chaplain, you have to give the run-down between who appointed who after who got mad at who. But it would be nice to see fewer stories that come out of Washington filtered through an almost completely political lens.
