We are announcing this morning an important development at Newsweek and The Daily Beast. Newsweek will transition to an all-digital format in early 2013. As part of this transition, the last print edition in the United States will be our Dec. 31 issue.

It was inevitable. There will be lots more of this in all print media.

Newsweek, Businessweek a few years ago. As DT sez, the inevitable approaches. And how does the Print Industry reply? Raise prices. My local paper now wants $91. for a 6 mo. subscription. I haven't looked at it in a year. NYT is $2.50 per week day issue & I don't know what on Sunday. Plus, maybe it's me, but I see the quality and scope of reporting falling in all newspapers. Plus most Newspapers are so fucking PC I wanna puke when reading them.

Who the F^%# still gets day-old news printed/delivered when the Internet is up-to-date without killing trees???

GOOD for Newsweek! TV Guide disappeared long ago for the same reason. People and EW just get thinner and thinner, and cost more and more. Screw that!

But I like my printed cooking magazines!

I the F^%# still get day-old news printed/delivered. I like to read the news while eating my corn flakes. Kinda awkward carrying my PC around. We don't have to kill more trees; just recycle.

When people want to know why unemployment is high and the middle class is disappearing.....two words; computer, internet. Gone are the type-setters, lithographers, photographers, delivery people and all the peripheral connections. Multiply that by all the other jobs that disappeared, never to be revived.
