I'm not sure where the newsweeklies fit into the pyramid. They are extremely influential in shaping elite opinion, but their weekly frequency puts them at a disadvantage to any medium with a daily frequency. I think I'll bump them down below the broadcast networks. Let's see how that works.
Odd, I'd been thinking about the same thing. They seem to be more in a support capacity; backup as it were. After due diligence and in-depth analysis allowed by their weekly status; arriving at the same conclusions as the dailies just adds weight to their positions? Werksferme.
