3 out of 5: For the sophisticated reader
by b lawhorn, Jul 23 '05
newsweek magazine is
difficult to understand. However, the subscription price
is well worth the money. The standardized style in this
magazine can be difficult tolerate. However, the
magazine transcends all of this by lifting the reader to
a higher plane. |

3 out of 5: Too much
Pop Culture, too little Pop in the writing
by mattjoe, Jun 14 '05
I'm trying to find a weekly magazine that can keep me up to
date with the world happenings, as well as one that I
can learn from. newsweek will not do either. It
spends more time on celebrities and the latest TV shows
than it does on foreign policy or economic issues. The
journalists lean left, and are all against the Iraq War,
which is fine, but I would appreciate a rebuttal column,
or at least one article with a differing opinion.
Instead of a magazine that makes you think, this
magazine is trying to convince you that it has already
done that for you. |

4 out
of 5: A bargain, but not serious news
by johnmeeks1974, Jun 13 '05
I enjoy reading newsweek magazine despite
its overall deficiency in the depth of news it covers.
At this price, it's worth the quick perusal every week.
I would recommend The Economist for those looking for
hard news; newsweek is good for a look at US domestic
affairs and current news features. |

5 out of 5: newsweek Plays to the Masses
by Banlish, May 21 '05
Some thoughts from a 35-year reader/subscriber: Years
ago, newsweek held its readers attention simply through
outstanding reporting/writing and photos of world and
national events. Exceptional writing remains but to
attract the masses, "news" has expanded to cover a wide
range of topics designed to entertain. I don't have a
problem with that. It helps me keep up with the
times--even the "Wall Street Journal" added more human
interest stories. However, I do have a problem when some
of newsweek magazine's traditional reporting on world/national
issues do not appear to be as impartial and well
balanced as in the past. This criticism is not unique to
newsweek--I have the same issue with other publications
that tend to lean to liberal or conservative causes. The
bottom line is obvious: use multiple sources before
passing judgment on an issue. I guess I've changed as
newsweek has--less reliance on its reporting of issues,
more on the entertainment aspects. But I do enjoy
reading both.

5 out of 5: The
News It Isn't!
by jmelgren, Mar 25 '05
Sometimes I enjoy reading the articles in newsweek.
However, that has happened with less frequency over the
years. newsweek has stopped being the source of news
that it used to be in it's glory day (back when the
magazine was created to compete with Time) and basically
turned into a liberal journal glossed over with a bunch
of pretty pictures and a few interesting writers in
hopes of appearing as an objective news magazine. Also,
most of what is found within the pages is just a rehash
of what one can find on the national nightly news. With
that said, newsweek magazine sometimes gets it right. Every
once in awhile, the writers find a story that is
appealing to all and actually covers both sides of an
issue. However, that only happens about once a month;
not very good odds for a magazine that's supposed to
update one more in-depth with the nation's biggest and
latest news stories.
