 A few interesting bits, but Z magazine is the real deal November 5, 2006

My mom was a subscriber to Newsweek for years, and I'd flip through her copies. Most of the material is friendly towards the powers that be (although, not friendly enough according to the review by the soldier who thinks the editors should be in jail. So much for "protecting our freedoms"). Anyway, since Newsweek is beholden to Big Business advertisements, it won't do much to rock the boat that our corporate mafia owns.
If people are interested in more honest, more critical views of the political and economic system that is causing so much devastation in the world (the neoliberalism of the US empire and other wealthy nations), then I'd recommend Z magazine. I'll never forget finding my mom on the floor devouring it's articles on a range of issues the corporate media marginalize. Z also publishes articles and interviews with the most-cited living author on the planet, Noam Chomsky (another figure I'm sure the US soldier thinks should be in jail. Although, Chomsky recently spoke at West Point. So, even the military is waking up to the hard truths he brings).

 lukewarm weekly news magazine (three and one-half stars) December 22, 2007

Newsweek used to be a lot better; they would spend more time on the pages of the magazine informing people about the news and the life and times of our generation and even other generations. However, slowly over time, the magazine has rejected that strategy in favor of more frequent sensationalist front page articles and many more advertisements in the weekly issue.
Of course, there are still the staples. We get news articles that are pertinent to current events (we see issues with cover stories about presidential candidates, for example); and I like the "comedy page" where they have cartoons and the quotes from people in the news can be very interesting. The quality of the paper they print on is actually fairly good.
One thing I do like very much is that occasionally Newsweek devotes an issue to a retrospective view of times past. An example is the recent issue about 1968 and how those events impacted our lives. I liked that issue very much.
Overall, if you want a weekly news magazine, Newsweek is one of those out there to consider. Remember that there'll be more ads than ever before; but the articles that they do present are very well written.
Three and one-half stars.
 Bird cage liner or perhaps fish wrapper September 24, 2008

The current $20 subscription price for this "magazine" is a great way to save money on the liners for your canary cage or if you are a fishmonger in need of wrapping papers. If you are in search of insightful news and unbiased journalism I suggest looking elsewhere.
