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.
