Beginning with this week's issue, Newsweek magazine has reinvented itself. I have been a subscriber for many years, and it will take some time to get adjusted to the new format and focus.(Also, the type font is too small for my aging eyes!)

"As we see it, Newsweek's role is to bring you as intellectually satisfying and as visually rich an experience as the great monthlies of old did...There will be two kinds of stories in the new Newsweek. The first is the reported narrative...the second is the argued essay..."
Jon Meacham, editor
