		Desperately needing a larger pool of subscribers, Walker envisioned a magazine that could meet a mass audience’s taste for spectacle, but that wouldn’t in the mean time sacrifice its identity as a periodical fit for more elite palates as well.
		Walker obviously did not want to lose his current small pool of readers, which meant he must meet their expectations for something aesthetic and refined.
		Though Walker’s goal was to boost circulation, he at least publicly defined his audience not as the excited masses who would scoop up the daily news, but as readers who would cherish those older forms of travel writing the World had dismissed at the beginning of Bly’s trip.

		In 1889 the Cosmopolitan was a new contender in the American periodical marketplace; the three-year-old publication was already forming a name for itself as a leading illustrated monthly and growing literary force.
		The trade publication Journalist declared there had "never been such a fast-rising magazine in popularity" (9 November 1889), and editor John Brisben Walker was praised for having "introduced the newspaper ideas of timeliness and dignified sensationalism into periodical literature" (Journalist 8 April 1892).
		But such contemporary accolades do not sufficiently reveal how a periodical like the Cosmopolitan was forced to position itself in a marketplace that was being shaped forcefully by "more vulgar" mass- market newspapers and their sensationalistic stunts.

		In his stump speech, you hear that while the president embraces new ideas, John Kerry is beholden to worn-out politics, old answers, and outdated modes of thought.
