Also, a couple of celebrity covers - Michael Jackson and Oprah - doesn't set the tone for a magazine seeking to entice readers with a more thoughtful view of the world; those covers scared off potential buyers and sent mixed signals about the editorial direction of the magazine. When I saw the Michael Jackson cover I was disappointed and didn't open the issue up. On a more positive note, I do like the redesign of the website - much more readable. But The Economist, Newsweek is not - and not likely to get there anytime soon.

It's more concise and doesn't split the articles all over the place. Felt a lot like The Economist. I was happy with the redesign. It’s more concise and doesn’t split the articles all over the place.

It is totally incohesive and completely lacks character. It is the worst magazine redesign I have ever seen. It seems like there is less content also.
