I am always a week or two behind in reading Newsweek. However, I do like to take a quick look at their take on the latest happenings in a world that makes printed magazines obsolete in this world of instant news. Editor Jon Meacham, “We know you already know what the new is. With original reporting and arguments, we’ll make you think in new ways.” Leafing through the May 25, 2009 edition shows some new formating and hopefully some new ways to make this publication more relevant. The format is defintely inviting. Perhaps some new participants will make this magazine more valuable.
A New Format for Newsweek

I am a somewhat cranky but mostly optimistic 65 plus who refuses to give up on this maddening world. The purpose of this BLOG is to express my feelings, thoughts. View all posts by coastcontact

You’re the first person who actually *likes* the new format. The whole thing looks like a big advertorial composed of blogs of the semi-famous whose opinions you don’t care about.

I completely agree with you. I really don’t like the new format. Every page looks like an ad. I just flip through the pages and end not reading anything. I don’t feel pulled in by any of the articles. I am going to switch to Time magazine. Very dissapointing.
