Newsweek

Newsweek is a weekly news magazine published in New York City and distributed throughout the United States and internationally. It is the second-largest weekly magazine in the U.S., having played second fiddle to TIME during its entire career except for brief moments when its advertising revenues were somewhat greater. Its circulation puts it ahead of U.S. News & World Report, however. Of the three magazines, Newsweek is generally regarded as being more liberal than Time in its outlook, while U.S. News is considered somewhat conservative.

Originally called News-Week, it was founded by Thomas J.C. Martyn on February 17, 1933. That issue featured seven photographs from the week's news on the cover. In 1937, Malcolm Muir took over as president and editor-in-chief. Muir changed the name to Newsweek, emphasized more interpretative stories, introduced signed columns, and international editions. Over time it has developed a full spectrum of news-magazine material, from breaking stories to analysis to reviews and commentary. The magazine was bought by the Washington Post Company in 1961.
