All The News For The Week October 30, 2001 D. Bodenheimer (California) 8 out of 13 found this review helpful
If you only read one news source on a regular basis, make it Newsweek. I've been reading Newsweek since the 1970's, and it keeps me up-to-date even when I haven't really been paying attention to the news on a daily basis. The articles are always well written, and extremely timely. I have been even more impressed recently, as some of the In-Depth special coverage has answered the exact questions I have been having. Great magazine!
Ultra-liberal magazine September 15, 2008 Guitar Doc (Michigan) 8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Don't buy this expecting the news. You will get the news only from a left wing/socialist slant. Anything that doesn't fit their world view will be ignored or dismissed. There is no such thing as reporting only the news to today's media. Everything is editorial.
This applies to TIME as well January 15, 2002 Grant Huling (Seattle, WA United States) 7 out of 11 found this review helpful
One can't get a clear picture of the world from a magazine that's tied up in a giant corporate entity. Remember the maxim: consider the source. Unfortunately (truely), almost any given major news entity is owned by a giant corporation. They help breed mental homogeny!
Okay for news junkies I suppose... August 22, 2002 7 out of 12 found this review helpful
Once upon a time, Newsweek was a great publication. But it has slipped and slipped badly. Articles are boring and reporters are second rate. Besides this isn't news, by the time you recieve your Newsweek mag (or is that rag), it's already been blasted on CNN, CNN2 and the Internet. Perhaps they should change the name from Newsweek to NewsFromLastWeek.SAVE your money and watch CNN. At least their reporters are articulate and interesting and actually report current News as it happens, not old and stale regurgitated history.
Good allround coverage January 3, 2004 7 out of 12 found this review helpful
While I don't always agree with what I read in Newsweek, I like the diverse perspective it presents. I rarely get as upset by an article as by watching 5 seconds O'Reilly Factor. I live 2.5 years in the US now, and I must say that I am disgusted by what is titled News on the local TV channels (notable exception: BBC World News on PBS). While I should read NYT, WJ or WP to keep up, those are just too volumenous, and bound to be "mistakenly apprehended" from my doorstep anyway. In order to stay connected to what is happening outside this country, what/why things are happening inside this country, and have something that fits into my mail receptible, Newsweek gives me a nicely condensed picture while its cover story provides in depth focus for ~50 news hot spots over the year. Unlike some target-audience magazine, Newsweek's English is refreshingly comprehendable, and mostly free of fashionable monosyllabic confusion and acronym soup.
