It's a month since I placed the order and I have not gotten a single copy. So the only thing I can tell you is I would not order magazines through amazon unless you don't mind the wait.
Essential January 2, 2008
Subscribing to Newsweek is an incredible deal. Individual issues are $4.95 each. So you can buy 4 off the rack for the price of approx. 50 mailed to your door! And I think this magazine is practically essential for anyone living in America today. Educate yourself about what's going on in the world. Don't just let things happen TO you and AROUND you. Be informed. Have opinions.
Broad but shallow December 31, 2007

"Newsweek" provides the reader with a broad overview of the week's events along with trends in culture and the arts. A typical issue features a cover story with in depth reporting. The cover story may be an issue in the news or a lingering topic which merits attention. Other sections provide stories about international and national news, books, entertainment and whatever seems important that week. A number of rotating columnists add to the mix. "Newsweek" does present a range of viewpoints in its opinion pieces.
I generally read Newsweek cover to cover. I find that it gives me an understanding of issues which I would not pick up from the daily newspaper as well as a familiarity into matters which, otherwise, would not even be on my radar. Even when I fall behind, I find enough timelessness in some of the articles to make a delayed read awarding. While I sometimes wish for more depth than is found in the often one page articles, Newsweek is worth the time devoted to it.
 lukewarm weekly news magazine (three and one-half stars) December 22, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Newsweek used to be a lot better; they would spend more time on the pages of the magazine informing people about the news and the life and times of our generation and even other generations. However, slowly over time, the magazine has rejected that strategy in favor of more frequent sensationalist front page articles and many more advertisements in the weekly issue.
Of course, there are still the staples. We get news articles that are pertinent to current events (we see issues with cover stories about presidential candidates, for example); and I like the "comedy page" where they have cartoons and the quotes from people in the news can be very interesting. The quality of the paper they print on is actually fairly good.
One thing I do like very much is that occasionally Newsweek devotes an issue to a retrospective view of times past. An example is the recent issue about 1968 and how those events impacted our lives. I liked that issue very much.
Overall, if you want a weekly news magazine, Newsweek is one of those out there to consider. Remember that there'll be more ads than ever before; but the articles that they do present are very well written.
Three and one-half stars.
