I hate reading the news. I hate watching the news. I do know how important it is to do so. The week makes it easy to stay informed. One session on the workout bike at the gym, and I have a week's worth of news. I have subscribed for a few years and have also given it as a great gift. —… read full review »

We've been subscribers for about 5 years now and I have given gifts of the magazine to my friends and relatives.  They soon subscribe on their own. Published weekly, it keeps you current with news of the world and the US and how the world looks at us.  — I have a friend who is the polar opposite of me in all ways political, when he visited and saw I read The Week, he was amazed, as it is his favorite magazine also.  That should be a clue as to how unbiased the magazine's articles are.  It shows the editorial opinions of both sides of the aisle leaving you to… read full review »

My family has subscribed to The Week for a couple of years, and can't imagine living without it. Everyone in the house, from 47 to 13, reads it every week. It has a good mix of light and heavy articles, news and editorials, current events and human interest. One of my favorite features is the excerpted article in the back of every issue -- always something surprising, informative, and entertaining. — — I do wish The Week would expand the selection of columnists whose work they feature. The magazine tries to list the pros and cons on every issue, but when the views are coming from… read full review »

We love this magazine. We've gone through tons of subscriptions for many different magazines but usually we end up reading 1/2 the articles or not having time to finish the ones we start. These are good snapshots of what is going on in the world NOT just the US which is very refreshing. I love the quotes, the odd news from around the world and the "boring but important" section. I highly recomend this magazine- it may seem a little expensive at first but it is so worth the money. My husband and I fight over who gets to read it first!… read full review »

This magazine is unlike the other "News" magazines on the market. They just tell the story! We were given a gift subscription for Christmas a couple years ago. We let it lapse last year, but are ready to subscribe again. I feel uninformed on too many issues. I miss the unbiased reports, the views of our country as reported in world wide media, the book reviews and the story at the back of each… read full review »

The Week has short, to the point, reporting of the week's events around the world, as well, as business, travel, reviews, and opinions.  The longer articles include excerpts of other publications coverage, to give a range of opinions on that event.  I'm always reading about news I don't hear about any other… read full review »

This relatively young magazine has a great way of bringing the most topics and events worldwide to one magazine.  Up-to-date weekly publications.  If you are pressed for time, this is the news magazine for you.  Covers many events not covered by your local news… read full review »
