We subscribed to Newsweek throughout my childhood, even living overseas. I recall excitedly going through it every time it arrived. As far as the news digest format went, in those days they mixed topic areas fluidly, while keeping their readers informed.
I canceled my personal subscription years ago. To me, the format changes had made it less comprehensive, the quality of writing had declined, and it had become too political. Or, maybe I'd just outgrown it.
Sure, they'll have a digital version, but they have far smaller staff (and impact) than they once did. They're a marginally iconic publication, who were unable to adapt to the new world, and are thus a victim of the changing landscape of journalism.
