Liberal Newsweek May Have To End Weekly Circulation

Newsmax.com:

Battered by a one-two punch of declining readership and ad pages, Newsweek magazine is getting an extreme makeover this year that will include a large circulation reduction, deep cuts in operating costs, and a new effort to attract advertisers by concentrating on an elite audience.

According to The New York Times, executives at Newsweek say the retooled magazine will focus on being a "thought leader" that focuses on telling readers how to think about news, rather than telling people what happened in the last week. The plan, similar to the editorial outlook espoused by The Economist magazine, is aimed at helping the newsweekly better compete in the face of competition from cable TV and the Internet. The transformation will likely include more analysis, commentary, and news-related feature articles.

Good. Newsweek had long become a joke to objective journalism. Instead it's now a tabloid for left-wing propaganda which, in turn, makes it totally irrelevant. Hopefully, the way things are going it'll be out of business sooner than later.
