Newsweek vs. Time

[SCEditor]

Newsweek: $18.95 for 54 issues or Time: $16.00 for 28 issues. Please discuss. I've purchased both in the past, but really I only need one since there are many stories duplicated by both. You make the call.

I recently let a (gift) subscription to Newsweek lapse because I just didn't think the magazine was that well done. Time has got to be a better publication, though I haven't read an issue in about a year.

Just subscribe to Esquire.

may I write in Playboy? I actually read it for the articles (if you've seen one set of made up tits, you've seen 'em all) and other features (fiction, advisor, etc.).

$24 for 24 issues.

I want something that's strictly news. And I already subscribe to Esquire.

I'm not looking for other magazines. I already have a subscription to Sports Illustrated, Esquire and a few others. I'm just looking to choose from those two.

Playboy has articles? Since when?

Simple, SCE... whichever one YOU prefer.

I often have the same problem trying to decide between Club and Swank.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

You get basically the same essential product in either one, but NEWSWEEK strikes me as a little more lively and better written.

I subscribe to Time, by girlfriend to Newsweek. They're both fine.

But what fun would that be if I didn't solicit opinions?

I've read both on occassion, but I've never had a subscription. I'm looking for people who have received both or one on a regular basis. It's hard to tell just by looking at one every six months.

Swank in a landslide. :

I get both, but prefer Newsweek ... Better writing on the whole.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

I just started getting Time not that long ago. Paid something like 20 bucks for two years.

 

[DougDascenzo]

The Week trumps both.

 

[Huggy]

The Week trumps both.

As does The Economist although it's pretty pricey over here.

 

[Armchair_QB]

Beat me to it Huggy. I was just going to suggest The Economist too.

The Week trumps both.

The Week is great ...

If you read newspapers daily, there is no reason to read Time or Newsweek, IMHO.

Read the New Yorker weekly.

Vanity Fair can be good but it's hit-n-miss. The Atlantic Monthly is very good, but sometimes my legs fall asleep on the toilet cause the main article can be extremely long, though interesting.

I have a subscription to the New Yorker. It's by far my favorite magazine to read. I skim newspapers regularly online, but sometimes I'll go a few days without reading the news section (I know, I'm a terrible person). I like both these magazines, but I'd like a subscription to one. I was just soliciting the board elders (and newbies) for some advice over which they prefer.

Another vote for the Economist. It's not even close.
