When did news become partisan? Good magazine and how to get a good deal! June 25, 2005

I notice a lot of people reviewing this magazine who are unhappy with the content based on how it fits with their personal political beliefs. If that's the case, then I would understand your unhappiness with the magazine. I disagree with the assessment that Newsweek has become no different than People Magazine. Newsweek may have been more political/world oriented in the past, but the magazine today covers the range of subjects that are making news in THAT given week, whether it be entertainment, politics, or world issues. If that is not your cup of tea, then I would not recommend it to you. As an independent I am also of the opinion that the magazine is fairly balanced in its coverage. Several years ago this magazine led the charge in investigating then-President Clinton. Now there are some articles critical of the current administration which people object to. I on the other hand applaud it. There has to be one voice in the news world that is not afraid to be critical of any administration, republican or democrat, and offer an opinion. Agree, disagree, but at least the opinion is out there.
That being said, if you want this magazine don't order here. Go to their website and to the subscription inserts in the magazine itself, compare the prices, and request that a billing notice be sent to you instead of paying with a credit card. This way when your subscription is up for renewal, you have the opportunity to cancel without your card being charged. Often times sites like this one utilize a third party service that contracts with the various magazines, your payment goes to them and they auto-renew you. I find it easier to do it through the magazine themselves. Saves me the trouble, and invariably, the magazine comes a lot quicker.
Is Newsweek the best out there? Personally I think Time is, but I also subscribe to Newsweek because it presents a different voice and opinion than Time. The articles on human health alone are worth the subscription.
 NEWS LITE... February 3, 2002

Newsweek, as is its prime competitor, Time, is a glossy, weekly news magazine that covers national and global new events. It also covers business, education, art, entertainment, and current newsmakers. Its coverage is snappy and timely, with well written articles and essays, though dubiously objective, as the magazine has a distinctly liberal bent. It is this slant that distinguishes it from Time. The articles have as much depth as may be expected from a news magazine with a broad agenda and are well illustrated with photographs. As a subscriber, I look forward to receiving each weekly issue. Newsweek, as does Time, also publishes topical specialty issues throughout the year that provide more depth of coverage in a specific area.
 More left wing spin May 2, 2003

I can't read this magazine anymore. It is written by and for high school students who don't like to read. I am canceling this and subscribing to the Economist.
 By far the best weekly news magazine in these troubled times September 14, 2003

You want to know what is really going on in these troubled, post-9/11 times? The weekly answer - read Fareed Zakaria in Newsweek, and you will know the answers. It is columnists like him and the superb in depth articles that people like him write that help one find out what not merely WHAT is going on today, but WHY it is happening. I have found it invaluable for all my own writing. Christopher Catherwood (author of CHRISTIANS MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE: WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHY IT HAPPENED, Zondervan, 2003)
 HAS AN OBVIOUS LIBERAL SLANT May 21, 2004

Newsweek has an obvious liberal slant. It seemed like 9 times out of 10, the articles written about politics had a left-wing bias. So if you're in to "journalism" with a liberal agenda, this would be for you. My subscription just ran out and I will not be renewing it.
