My wife has been a long-time subscriber of the magazine, and I do read it myself from time to time.

Without question, the most anticipated magazine that arrives in our mailbox every Monday afternoon is **Newsweek**. ***Bottom-Line***: **Newsweek**, together with other written and visual media keep my household informed on the issues that directly affect me and mine. Every week, there is something sure to stimulate, challenge, and educate. To me, this blending of views is why Newsweek excels. Finally, I enjoy both "**Letters**" and "**My Turn**" because they take the pulse of everyday readers who have something important to add to the public discourse. I enjoy **Periscope**'s tidbit articles on just about every subject, and of course, the cartoons and sound bites found in **Perspectives**. My favorite regular features include **Conventional Wisdom**, which is a snapshot of hot stories. Whether I agree with them or not, these veteran journalists always keep me challenged and informed. My favorite columnists are Fareed Zakaria for his expertise on international affairs Jonathan Alter for his take on politics Anna Quindlen for her liberal, compassionate viewpoints and George Will for his intelligent commentary with a conservative point of view. This award-winning magazine has featured religion, gender, pain, and cosmology as well as its bread-and-butter political and news stories. However, there are times when the cover story may not be about a news item at all, but may feature a topic that is intriguing but so far not well known. The cover story is always a big deal because it usually tackles the biggest story of the week. Newsweek always challenges me to reevaluate and support my positions by featuring in-depth reports with varied viewpoints. This is not a magazine that seeks to reinforce what you already believe. Newsweek's strength is that it covers a wide range of topics, current events and cultural trends. I look forward to its arrival every Monday (*sometimes Tuesday and occasionally Wednesday*) and I read it from cover to cover. I have subscribed to **Newsweek** magazine for years.
