Newsweek

Newsweek is a satisfactory source of information of current events. However, the agency that Amazon uses to handle the subscriptions made errors on my order and was unresponsive to my attempts to reach them to correct it. I will not use Amazon again to subscribe to magazines.

The magazine Newsweek presents current events written by well informed journalists. Quite often two sides of a story are presented, enabling me to form a sounder opinion of the situation. Nice Back Page editorials, particularly Anna Quindlen's. Definitely worth the read! Especially in this day of 1-2 minute clips on TV.

As a subscriber to Newsweek for 10 plus years I have just cancelled my subscription. I use to look forward to receiving this magazine each week. It was well done with humorous political cartoons and balanced coverage of politics. That is no longer the case.

The November 3, 2008 issue which arrived on October 28, 2008 contains three articles that declare Obama the victor in an election that will not take place until November 4, 2008. This continued trend in liberal bias undermines Newsweek's credibility.

The font size has been greatly reduced in the last year, probably to reduce costs that they lost in advertisement revenue due to this liberal bias. This small font size makes it hard to read the magazine fast.

Do not waste your money on this magazine.

Newsweek used to be a pretty good, balenced magazine. Now it's about 60% ads 30% pictures and 10% "news" that always seem to be written like an editorial. Don't recommend anymore.

Have just cancelled my subscription after many years. Newsweek is no longer an objective news magazine.
