A Turn Of The Page For Newsweek

Newsweek (along with the other news magazines) circulation has been dropping steadily for years, and now they have taken the plunge into all-digital.  The last print edition of Newsweek will be the Dec 31, 2012 issue.

 

This is (as far as I know) the first major print publication to move to digital only.  Will this transition be successful, or will they continue their slide into obscurity?

 

More importantly, what ramifications will this have for Newsweek's fellow print media cohorts?

 

Thoughts?

Interesting.  I am one of those folks who would occasionally pick up a Time or a Newsweek when i was traveling for work for something to read on the plane.

 

I suspect that this move will buoy them for a while but it seems to forestall the inevitable.

I do the same. I wouldn't subscribe to Newsweek, but it's a decent reading. I am very skeptical that the change to digital only will be successful unless they offer some additional value to subscribers beyond just a translation of the print magazine.
