A guy with some savvy...could buy the magazine and move it out of New York....to some place in Kansas. Reform the pitch and offer up a lean-Conservative opinions....and it’d likely be an easy item to market to Americans. I believe it’d move back into profitable status with six months and it’d prove a number of points.
I think that was called the Weekly Standard, although the lean-conservative part is often kind of iffy

Let’s do it. I got $.50. We’re halfway there.
You'll never get it back from Barry Diller. Despite the half-clever cover move to enhance print sales, the Newsweak editorial board doesn't have a prayer of stopping Diller from going all-digital (hint: reducing staff by about 60%).
And you can do that right now without the Newsweak brand...
"Dead Tree" media is dying. If they can make it a digital issue for Kindle/smart phone users yea it will probably go but physical media is dying. The Columbus Dispatch is running commercials on TV showing their "New Look" which boils down to the paper being smaller. Subs are way down, ads are way down and "coupon-clippers" are moving to internet based coupons.
"Dead Tree" media is going to become a "nitch" item by the end of this decade.
