Newsweek to cease print edition after 80 years

I don’t remember precisely when I started reading Newsweek but I do have the July 28, 1969 edition with a transmitted photo of the walk on the Moon.   I considered the magazine the alternate to the too conservative Time.  The magazine has provided worthwhile insight to the world’s problems.

Just a few years ago a commentator in BusinessWeek forecasted the end of much of the print media.  That was just before McGraw-Hill sold that money losing weekly to Bloomberg.  So none of this is a surprise.

I myself have been evaluating the myriad of tablet computers this past week.

Goodbye old friend!!
