 Good Overall Information Source - Low Quality Articles April 25, 2005

It is important to say that Newsweek has an overall good balance of world and national news. If you want to obtain a magazine that will give you a basic understanding of different world developments, and I repeat "basic understanding" this is a safe bet. Nonetheless, most of the articles found in Newsweek will not give the reader an in depth analysis of the topic at hand and in most cases will be very superficial. For example, in Newsweek articles dealing with poverty conditions in Somalia and Rwanda, the magazine fails to mention how the United Nations and the United States have failed to successfuly address the problem. In articles about genocide in East Timor, the magazine fails to tell you that the weapons that were used by the Indonesian army to commit genocide were provided by the United States and that the United States used its veto power at the security council to prevent sanctions on Indonesia. In other topics such as the economic crisis in Argentina, the magazine fails to tell the reader about some of main factors leading to the crisis such as the incredible corruption of Argentina's previous government. To conclude, get this magazine if you want a basic source of global information. If you want a magazine that will give you real insight on world affairs, do not buy this magazine.

Gave it as a gift but I do know that it is a fine weekly news magazine.

I watch CNN, too. When there is a big story, I get parts of it on CNN, then Newsweek comes and it fills in with a larger story, the bigger picture in a way that I understand. Then I relate to other news sources as a more informed listener/reader.
If it in fact has a liberal bias, I have not detected it, but I tend to have a slightly liberal bias myself, so I can't speak to that.
I buy Time on the newstand when there is something that seems to be particularly well covered in Time. I do not consider Newsweek lesser. I used to take Time years ago. Now I prefer Newsweek.
The only complaint I might have is that both magazines seem to be having more "magazine", or feature type stories, that I do not see as "news" and am not interested in. I think that is driven by these magazines (both Time and Newsweek do it) attempt to find out what works in this expanding world of media.
Ninety percent of those human interest subjects are not my interest and that annoys me. But the few that speak to me, yes, I will buy a magazine for that. For instance if Time has a good article on the older groups of people in America, I will buy that single issue. At the same time I am usually disappointed in whatever is featured in either magazine if it is not news driven.
Newsweek has been my news magazine that comes in the mail for years. For me, it remains my choice.

I used to love Newsweek magazine. Good detail on news reports without being overly dry like other news magazines. Lately, it has been filled with more fluff. More celebrity based information. If I want that, I'll buy People's. But I don't.
