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.

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 make your own judgements.

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 the same sources every... review »

Our house receives "The Week" magazine faithfully. We read it from cover to cover. It has the latest and hottest news in the country and it also offers humor along the way. The articles are not too long and once you start reading one, you are anxious to keep reading the next page and the next page, and the next page. For news buffs, like us, this is a must have. My husband almost cried when he thought I forgot to renew the subscription. Not to worry, I was way ahead of the final notice.
"The Week" has been coming to our home for 4 years. My husband looks forward to it every week, even though he reads the newspaper daily. "The Week" reviews so many stories that are missed in the paper. It details stories in the way they deserve. No fluff. It covers world news and personal stories. I forgot to renew "The Week" in time and missed 2 weeks of it. We were lost without it, and delighted to see it start up again.
At first I thought that this little magazine I found in the doctor's office would be hokey. However, it is like the best of all worlds. The editors have travelled the world searching for editorial voices on every side of the issue. Unlike many of the corporate news magazines, The Week providers readers with a balanced blend of viewpoints. It allows the reader to make their decision on where they stand.
Superb magazine - concise - great to keep au courant with the news... and still have time to read other interesting materials... such as a good romantic suspense book J
