Pssst, Wanna Buy a Newsweek?
Posted by Tom Bevan | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
The Washington Post has announced its putting Newsweek up for sale. The the 77-year old weekly underwent a radical makeover last year, in which editor Jon Meacham shifted the focus from news to more opinion and analysis for a more upscale (i.e. liberal) audience. Obviously, the Washington Post Co. isn't terribly bullish on the long-term prospects of success for the redesigned mag.
UPDATE: Jon Meacham says he's going to "take a look" at rounding up a group of investors to buy the magazine.
