This is a recent magazine thing - recycled news. I just saw a print magazine at Barnes and Noble with the cover "VE Day - Germany Defeated". Looked like a current magazine. Recycling is so much cheaper than paying reporters to find real news.

Esquire had famous writers in its glory days, so they have good content to recycle. They also used to have cute pinup pictures. Playboy was sort of an Esquire clone, but with sexier pictures, cutting into Esquire's market share.
