Talk:Newsweek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucky for us Canadians there is no Canadian version of Newsweek so we get the US edition. TIME however publishes a Canadian version that is just not the same. Canada just isn't as interesting a country as the US.

[edit] Wickis
I read Newsweek today and I noticed that thay misspelled "wikis" as "wickis" in an article. I will put up the offending sentence when I get a chance.
[edit] Stephen Glass
Could we add a link to Stephen Glass, or plagiarism? It seems to me that the recent madeup flushing-scandal would go with this. 64.63.221.197 21:02, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
It seems as though that in saying newsweek retracted the story under enormous pressure implies that the story was true and only retracted it because of that pressure. In the intrest of a non-biased site I believe that it would be better suited to just present the plain facts that Newsweek retracted the story saying that their source was not credible and that the US government is looking into the alligations and has asked that Newsweek explain to the Muslim world why what they published may not be true.
[edit] How about the month when there were 3 different news covers..
The Japanese edition had "The Day America Died" as the cover, the international version was also perojative towards the United States. Both the Japanese and International edition featured covers from Andrew Moravcsik.
Oddly, neither of these made it to our shores. We get a Newsweek cover "Oscar Confidential". Has Newsweek ever addressed this? Sounds like bias to me.

And wasn't it Michael Isikoff that broke the Koran story that had to be withdrawn. He was forced to withdraw his article which would have broke the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. Wasn't that true?
[edit] Need supporting examples
This sentence (under Highlights and controversies) is not well supported as it stands: "The magazine also falls under some disatisfaction as putting too much personal opinion in their reports. However, most readers overlook the opinions and take Newsweek as a news magazine."
Are there some specific examples of this type of reporting that can be cited? Otherwise, I recommend deletion (see Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words).

[edit] labels and bias
Why is George Will labeled a "conservative" when none of the other contributors are labeled "liberal"? Oh, I'm sure it must be because the others are all unbiased, neutral, professional journalists. Apparently Mr. Will has so much journalistic ethical controversy surrounding him that it warrants the largest entry in his bio. Bad George! Bad!
[edit] Highlights/controversies
This section is problematic in my opinion because it only provides three narrow examples of things that have been prominent issues in the past 5 years. It occurs to me that this section has to be expanded - can anyone add a handful of "highlights and controversies" for each decade the magazine has existed?--Dmz5 20:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
