Well, I heard this morning that the once venerable “Newsweek” will cease print publication and be a digital magazine beginning in January, 2013.  I’ve been getting Newsweek since my Current Events class in high school – many years ago.  I’ve debated ending my subscription several times as the magazine went through a variety of changes, many of them away from hard news reporting and to something more fluffy like “People” or some such magazine.  <\/p>\n

The latest rendition it has taken after being given to Tina Brown and the “Daily Beast” pretty much convinced me to finally end my subscription – but I felt disloyal to a once great news magazine going through tough times.  Well, the decision has been made for me.  Just like “US News and World Report,” Newsweek will end being a substantive news magazine. <\/p>\n

Sad, but yet another example of companies, media, organizations, or even churches whose leadership that just can’t seem to make the changes necessary to stay current and viable – the leadership of these organizations make changes, but the changes they think are pertinent simply aren’t, and they won’t learn.  Buggy whips.<\/p>\n

Time for the “Economist.”<\/p>\n
