US News Launching “Digital Newsweekly”

From Portfolio’s Jeff Bercovici:

    There’s been a lot of talk lately about the decline and fall of newsweeklies, some of it fueled by the shift of U.S. News & World Report to biweekly, and then monthly, publication. But U.S. News hasn’t given up on the idea of the weekly news digest. In fact, later today, in a soft launch, it will rolling out a new product: a “digital newsweekly” that reproduces, in pixels, what the magazine once did in ink and paper.

    “We’re creating a tailored product for readers that does what the old newsweeklies did, which was to stop time for people and say ‘What the heck happened over the last week?’ and make sense of it,” says editor Brian Kelly.
