Yeah, that line of text–all three of them–the tag line and the byline–just ruin the cover. I think I would have gone with plain white or a creamy beige, for the text below the flag. Stop trying to make the reader’s eye go everywhere at once.
I think the background color makes any white, eggshell, white-with-yellow-undertones, etc. fail a contrast test for readability, so you get these pretty noisy green and yellow tones. I’d consider ramping down the browny overtones of the background, to be able to use a simpler, less noisy and well, obnoxious color for the text below the flag. Something like Bejamin Moore’s Featherbed color.
