U.S. News & World Report magazine is going to stop sending its monthly print edition to subscribers next year and go mostly online.
Brian Kelly, the magazine's editor, outlined the changes in a memo sent to staff Friday.
In the memo, Kelly said the December issue will be the last monthly issue sent to subscribers. Monthly print versions will continue to be available at newsstands. frpa
Good riddance
I prefer plain white TP anyway.
With all these liberal magazine going out of print/business what will the doctors put out for readers to read. < /sarcasm>
jeez Louise that crap is insidious and destructive.
When I was in my late teens I was a voracious reader of periodicals. I had a regular reading list of everything from National Review to Mother Jones to the weekly news periodicals to Rolling Stone. U.S. News seemed to go out of it’s way to be painfully dry. In the years since I’ve seen no change. It’s just not a loss anybody will notice.
Brian’s just prolonging the agony. That propaganda rag is headed for oblivion. Propaganda is boring.
Interesting, but probably inevitable. Forget the political trash talk for a minute. The lead time to prepare stories, get them in print, and circulated, plus 24-hour news on the radio and TV, and the Internet, makes any ‘news’ in a magazine old before it reaches the readers.
As for the doctor’s offices, there is always Golf, Field & Stream, Good Housekeeping; not to forget that classic, People. BTW on my last visit to the doctor, I found a six-year old magazine in the waiting room.
This is going to make the several subscribers angry.
U.S. Snooze is still alive? I thought they folded years ago. Time, Newsweek need to go also. They’re nothing but propaganda.
My late parents and I subscribed to US in 1965. I still receive it. The guides to colleges and graduate schools are still pretty good. When it started by David Lawrence in the late 1930’s early 40’s, it was an anti FDR anti New Deal weekly. It certainly changed after Mr. Lawrence passed away. I also clipped charts etc. We used the magazine as a reference for high school debate, speech contests, and student congresses.
Will Newsweek follow? I hadn’t glanced at Newsweek in years but it was all the doctor’s office had besides golf digest and mens’ health.
It is very thin, no really interesting articles and a blatant liberal bias. Even had a cartoon about Christine O’Donnell not know what is in the constitution.
I can’t imagine anyone who would buy it or subscribe to it.
I remember reading one Article in Newsweek -while at a Dr. office about a year after we unseated Saddam - that had an interview with some terrorists (they called them insurgents). The article had one of the terrorist shake an artillery shell that had a liquid sound and the terrorist say that it was a deadly toxin that they were going to use against our troops. It was a short sentence in the middle of the article with no follow up. I thought, dang that is a big story in itself. It proves there are WMDs. Did they follow up on it? Nope. I surprised they even put that little bit in print.
Bonk....Bonk....Bonk............another one bites the dust.
