Newsweek to drop print edition after December 31st, gives the digital future a warm hug

Anyone still yearning for the magazine’s content after the presses stop will have to turn to the purely digital Newsweek Global or its The Daily Beast sibling, no matter how attached they are to the outlet’s 80-year history with paper. The explanation for the cutoff remains a familiar story: print readership is dying on the vine and expensive to maintain, while web and tablet adoption is growing quickly enough that Newsweek believes it can make the switch without taking a long-term financial hit. Whether or not the transition works, it’s evident the periodical knows its identity must be wrapped around an online presence — figuratively, not literally.
