People keep on saying that print is dead but I don't think that is completely accurate.  I think that people are just getting sick of the biased news that they get day in and day out.  Why pay for a subscription to read the same biased "news" that you can get for free online.  I am a firm believer that if you make a product that people want they will purchase it and I think too many print magazines and newspapers simply aren't doing that anymore which is why they are failing.

I agree I personally like it in hard print. There is nothing better to sit down and page though whatever your reading. The catch is, make it something I like to read or look at or GTFO

It's not its swing to the left as much as its religious frenzies. Hardly an issue goes by that there isn't some history or contemporary views on religion. Why, the cover this week has a bible as an icon for gay marriages.

I had been a subscriber for 35 years, declined renewal in 2006 I was so sick of its bias - I lost interest in paying them to insult my intelligence, and occasionally me, every week.  Not altogether surprisingly, their response to declining readership has been to become even more biased & blame the decline entirely on the general trend to alternative sources of information, to factors beyond their control.  The latter excuse is certainly true to an extent - even USN&WR has tanked.  You talk to the people who've canceled, though, I'd be willing to bet the overwhelming majority were simply fed up like me.  We've not been replaced by younger subscribers, who seem to have no interest in print news.

This is what happens when you alienate one group (conservatives in this case) in favor of another. Newsweek actively and openly supported "Change you can believe in" which just happens to be younger, Internet orientated people who tend to read less printed material. I would call that poetic justice. While the "news" magazines predicament may have been inevitable, it may have been held off had they stuck to the ever disappearing journalistic standards, report (just) the news and leave the comments for the editorials. I wonder who else voted/supported themselves out of a job this past November.

No, it is its swing to the left.  Like Brad, I was (past tense) a subscriber.  They get no more of my money now.

Yes Sir!  Actually many times, and once so hard, he almost bounced me.

May Newsweek die a slow and painful death.  Life will go on.

The problem with Newsweek is that if I want to read hysterical left-wing rants, I can just go to the DailyKos or Huffington Post and they're free.  

I firmly believe there is still a significant market for hard news, but Newsweek has increasingly become just another left-wing shilling post.
