"We have people in 13 different countries." That's great. Too bad it feels like they're all either in D.C. and Baghdad. The Economist, by contrast, feels like it has reporters in every country (though every reader knows they don't) because they're constantly telling me about international stories I haven't seen elsewhere.
It's not that I don't like "middlebrow." My other favorite magazine is The Week, and it's no guilty pleasure. Both The Week and The Economist give me what I need: the stories I've missed beyond the newspaper front pages. Newsweek (and Time) just give me more details and more opinions of what I've already read. (The Week, I'll note, seems to have more international news than Newsweek, too.)
But I'll say this: I love Newsweek's website. It's fun and informative, and good for analysis of those "top story" stories. I never go to the sites for The Week or The Economist.
