Can't decide b/w "TIME" or "NEWSWEEK" ?

<p>Time or Newsweek?
Which one is more comprehensive and not-biased?
Which one has better editorial article? </p>

<p>I'm trying to subscribe one and can't decide?</p>

<p>Times Select online is free if you've got a student email address.</p>

<p>hey thanks but I really want to subscribe one, and the website you posted doesn't work??</p>

<p>Search on google for "Times Select Student" or something like that. It'll give you a taste of Times at least, even though it obviously won't be as good as an actual subscription.</p>

<p>They're both pretty bad sources for good news analysis. They may not be very biased, but their news just barely scrapes the surface.</p>

<p>I find a good indicator for quality of news is looking at their advertisements and see what the audience of the periodical is. For Time and Newsweek, you get ads like "Newsweek Travel Deals" or Atkins Diet, which kind of indicates that their audience is the average American, which is probably not that informed about news. The advertisements for an excellent periodical like the Economist (which I highly recommend) are things like Accenture (which helps businesses manage outsourcing) or University of Sydney Business School, which is directed to a much more informed audience (like corporate executives), meaning the news analysis is better.</p>

<p>Neither. Like None said, The Economist is probably the best for analysis, though their dry british sense of humor in the writing (and I love Monty Python!) sometimes distracts imo. But it provides an excellent world overview. The other magazine I recommend is The Week, which basically culminates all the important news stories from around the world and puts it into a small (20 page-ish) but dense format. It has a slight liberal leaning, but I love it - it takes me up to 45 minutes to rd an issue of The Week vs 5-10 min for Newsweek.</p>

<p>If you are looking to subscribe to a weekly news periodical, I would recommend the economist. They have a student rate which isn't too bad. I think it was $40 for 26 issues.</p>

<p>i agree- the economist is the best, a lot better than either time or newsweek</p>

<p>I think: The Economist, Reuters, Wall Street Journal.</p>

<p>bump please</p>

<p>I agree with the above, but if you had to make a choice between Time or Newsweek, I'd go with Time.</p>

<p>If you HAD to choose between the two than I would choose TIME. But as others have recommended The Economist is a really good choice and what I subscribe to.</p>

<p>The Economist obviously delves deeper into international issues, and because it is British, most of its articles have a sense of being editorialized, in my opinion. I love it, but if you're looking for anything besides political or economic news/analysis, you're probably not going to find it. I don't know if that's all you're looking for...</p>

<p>Out of the two you mentioned, though, I like TIME more.</p>

<p>I vote cnn.com</p>

<p>Read the Economist and either the NYT (the Krugman/Kristof editorials, especially, are superb) or the WSJ (it's important to understand the markets these days). They'll keep you reasonably educated.</p>

<p>both crap. reading NYT only.</p>

<p>I recommend ESPN Insider.</p>

<p>you have the internet and you can have access to tons of things from mainstream newspapers to very biased blogs. Look around and you can get any point of view you want.</p>

<p>I would recommend Newsweek; that's what I read most of freshman/sophomore year. Economist is also good, but I generally read that online.</p>

<p>I usually spend about an hour reading through various newspapers online (e.g. NYT, Washington Post, LA Times, The Hill, Roll Call, Politico, etc.) but sometimes I just need a good paper copy. (Washington Post, usually, unless I'm back home, in which case it's the LA Times).</p>

<p>I also love the Economist but I've found that the Atlantic is great if I want an in-depth analysis of something.</p>
