Your Say: A moment of Nostalgia as 'Newsweek' shifts

After 80 years, Newsweek magazine will publish its last print edition in U.S. on Dec. 31 and go all digital. Reader comments from Facebook:

Sad. Another tradition bites the dust. But that said, unfortunately not everyone owns a cellphone or has Internet access, and some do not even know how to use these tools. It's a good opportunity for an enterprising young person to create a print magazine with articles written by true journalists, and reviewed by true editors. In the last 10 to 20 years, Newsweek has been more full of opinion than factual news.

Too bad. Newsweek was for years an island of sanity in the swamp of conservative distortion, but I won't follow it online. Electronic journalism may have its place, but it will never replace clipping an article and sharing it with a friend.

I grew up reading Newsweek but stopped reading some time ago, not because of the print/digital issues, but because it became Newsweek Lite, with more fluff than hard news.

From that perspective it doesn't matter to me, but it makes me sad that one more icon is gone.

Online media is the way to go these days. And we get to save some trees, too. It is a win-win situation.

Wayne Wastier

I will miss the magazine terribly! Newsweek has been a part of my life since the 1970s.

Tommy Reyes

A once-great magazine that committed a slow, ungrateful, public suicide.

I was a subscriber for 25 years, but I won't miss it.

There is nothing like seeing a child holding a newspaper, magazine or book in their hands. I am afraid if everything goes digital, it will limit who will have access.
