Newsweek To Go Digital-Only In 2013

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 18, 2012 @08:25AM from the wish-it-was-worth-caring-more-about dept.

Tony Isaac writes "Newsweek has announced that it will cease print publication at the end of the year, going all-digital. The new digital edition will still be based on a subscription model. Who will be next?"

That's ok, I doubt anyone is going to subscribe to your newsletter either.

After all, a dead-tree newspaper can be read by multiple people despite having been paid for only once!
As oppose to a digital newspaper, which can be read by millions despite only having been paid for once.

Yeah, and this other periodical, the New York Times? Surely going to fail. I don't need a printed paper telling me what time it is in New York. Even if I lived there, I'd just look at a clock or a watch.

Gets worse though, I was in California a while ago, and they had a newspaper called the "Sacramento Bee." That's just stupid! I wanted the news, not a stinging insect!

Yeah, but we do get the same news multiple times, which makes up for that.

Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.

If you were reading Newsweek at the dentist's office, I think I should tell you that Nixon isn't president anymore.
