Newsweek Drops Issue, Cites Poor Ad Sales

Due to low ad pages during late summer, Newsweek is trimming the number of issues it publishes by one, opting for a double issue dated Aug. 29-Sept. 5, Mediaweek reports.

Through July 19, Newsweek's ad pages have fallen 15.6 percent this year, to 970. It's not alone. A lack of spending in the technology and automotive sectors has hurt the whole newsweekly category with ad pages falling 10.5 percent, to 6,332 through July 19.

1. They keep pushing Bush and his agenda.

They've earned what they're getting. I don't feel sorry for them at all.

2. People do vote with their wallets

hopefully. I never subscribed to Newsweek, but did subscribe to Time for ten years. Dropped the subscription when they merged with AOL. I wasn't prepared to subsidize *that* moloch.

3. I cancelled my subscription and told them why..

in no uncertain terms. I refuse to pay one cent for enablers of fascism, and I no longer feel the need to be civil to them. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
