Big news on the publishing front: Newsweek is going all-digital, two years after its merger with The Daily Beast. →

It is important that we underscore what this digital transition means and, as importantly, what it does not. We are transitioning Newsweek, not saying goodbye to it. We remain committed to Newsweek and to the journalism that it represents. This decision is not about the quality of the brand or the journalism—that is as powerful as ever. It is about the challenging economics of print publishing and distribution.

Newsweek is produced by a gifted and tireless team of professionals who have been offering brilliant work consistently throughout a tough period of ownership transition and media disruption. Regrettably we anticipate staff reductions and the streamlining of our editorial and business operations both here in the U.S. and internationally.

Exiting print is an extremely difficult moment for all of us who love the romance of print and the unique weekly camaraderie of those hectic hours before the close on Friday night. But as we head for the 80th anniversary of Newsweek next year we must sustain the journalism that gives the magazine its purpose—and embrace the all-digital future.

Sad news: This is one of the first really big magazines to drop the print edition.

While I’ve had some major complaints about Newsweek, particularly editorial decisions, over the years, I’ve also admired quite a few of the magazine’s exceptionally talented reporters — especially foreign correspondents.  And I still think there’s a place in this world for the weekly news magazine.

It’s a sad day.  But better a digital Newsweek than no Newsweek.

    How sad. I grew up reading Newsweek! Print media truly is changing for the worse — and as much as I support sites like...
