First Issue Published Feb. 1933
As well known as Time magazine, Newsweek magazine is trying to adapt to the changing world where more and more people are relying on getting their information from websites using their desktops. laptops, tablets and smartphones which pretty much makes paper and ink a thing of the past.
Like many others in the news business declining ad revenues and increasing production costs are making for very challenging times in the communications business.
Newsweek will publish it's last print issue at the end of Dec. and starting in 2013 they will appear in an all-digital format.
Times ---- they are a changin'. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the need to have something to deliver sales flyers in, local print media might not exist in it's present form either. From a production and delivery point of view the economics of all-digital make paper and ink and printing presses and delivery trucks pretty much the coming buggy whip industry of the not too distant future.
