Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Founded in 1933 as a weekly newsmagazine and once the principal rival to Time. After a series of sales and a near-collapse it now operates as a high-volume digital publisher under Newsweek Publishing LLC.
It publishes opinion from both left and right, more explicitly than most outlets, and has rebuilt significant traffic. Critics argue that the name carries authority the current operation has not earned, and that its output includes a large amount of aggregation running under a masthead readers still associate with original reporting.
