Watching Newsweek is like watching the Bataan Death March. Only uglier.
Times are tough at the weekly news magazine. Last year, its circulation dropped from 3.1 million to 2.6 million. It is expected to drop to 1.9 million by July and again to 1.5 million by next January.
In response, it is launching a new smaller design, moving to a heavier paper stock, and putting more emphasis on photography. But the biggest news is that Newsweek is abandoning in-depth coverage of the week’s news.
We’re no publishing experts, but if Newsweek is abandoning weekly news coverage, we think they might want to find a name, too.

Really? Wow, with the leg-tingly "We Are All Socialists Now" cover stories and such, why would it be losing readership?

They did this long ago.
New name has to be "Newsweak".
Won't heavier stock make it more difficult to flush down the toilet?
Reason to celebrate...Newsweek never did cover the news. The new format just proves that liberals are all about the image, not the substance.
Expect NewsWeak to be in line for a Fishwrap Bailout from Chairman Zero as well.
