I love Newsweek, most hotels like Hilton or Marriott have it in their lobbies to take. It is a good airplane read, fair and balaced lots of details but not so much that you cannot finish on a two hour flight. I love the winners and losers secton (Conventional wisdom)....

This is the best news magazine out there. I recently renewed my subscription, paying only twenty dollars for an entire year subscription. The variety of articles is wide and the subject matter covered is always of interest to me. I feel I have become more knowledgable since I started reading it....

I used to like Newsweek, so I finally subscribed. They keep sending it to me even though I never paid them for a renewal. It goes straight in the trash. The quality of the writing has gone down and they've forgotten how to write a balanced piece. I've given up!...

LoveisJoy says "Intelligent Blending of Views" about Newsweek Magazine

I have subscribed to Newsweek magazine for years. I look forward to its arrival every Monday (sometimes Tuesday and occasionally Wednesday) and I read it from cover to cover. Newsweek's strength is that it covers a wide range of topics, current events and cultural trends. This is not a magazine that seeks to reinforce what you already believe. Newsweek always challenges me to reevaluate and support my positions by featuring in-depth reports with varied viewpoints.

The cover story is always a big deal because it usually tackles the biggest story of the week. However, there are times when the cover story may not be about a news item at all, but may feature a topic that is intriguing but so far not well known. This award-winning magazine has featured religion, gender, pain, and cosmology as well as its bread-and-butter political and news stories.

My favorite columnists are Fareed Zakaria for his expertise on international affairs; Jonathan Alter for his take on politics; Anna Quindlen...

TheBard says "Yes Rush there is such a thing as Fair and Balanced media cover" about Newsweek Magazine

TheBard — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:38:47 GMT

Bottom-Line: Newsweek, together with other written and visual media keep my household informed on the issues that directly affect me and mine. Might I subject you take a look...

Without question, the most anticipated magazine that arrives in our mailbox every Monday afternoon is Newsweek. My wife has been a long-time subscriber of the magazine, and I do read it myself from time to time. Because Newsweek weighs in on a wide ranging selection of current events and cultural trends, it is definitely not the magazine of choice for single-minded purists who only wish to read about one subject, a lone point of view, or who require every page to be in-depth, hard news reporting. No, Newsweek is more suited to those who are interested in an all-encompassing format of current events and societal trends, ranging from international terrorism, to U.S. politicians, to steroids in professional sports, to political summits in Paris, France, to the cell phone of uber-celebrity Paris Hilton. ...

Bryan-Carey says "Weekly News at a Low Subscription Price" about Newsweek Magazine

Bryan-Carey — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:26:25 GMT

Newsweek is a popular weekly publication that features up to date articles on important current events, arts and entertainment, business, etc. It's the second most popular news- related magazine in the United States (right after Time), with circulation of approximately 3.2 million.

Magazine Commentary:

Newsweek is a fairly good news magazine. For those who choose their news magazine based on its political slant, Newsweek will probably satisfy the moderates. Unlike Time (which caters to the left- leaning individuals) and U.S. News and World Report (which caters to the right- leaning individuals), Newsweek straddles the middle political ground, with articles from both liberal and conservative viewpoints.

One thing that bothers me about Newsweek is that the stories are usually a little too brief. I realize that Newsweek has to keep the stories short, in order to squeeze as many as possible into each issue. But I wish they were a little more in- depth. For example, some of George Will's "The...
