Newsweek

Japanese: ニューズウィーク(英語表記)Newsweek
Newsweek
A weekly news magazine based in New York, USA. In 1933, Thomas J. C. Martin, the editor of foreign news at Time (founded in 1923), launched the magazine under the name News-Week, with a similar format to Time. In 1937, the hyphen was dropped from the name to become Newsweek. In the early days, the magazine explained the news in analytical bylined boxed articles, and it was called one of the three major news weekly magazines in the United States, along with Time and U.S. News and World Report. In 1961, it was acquired by Philip L. Graham, publisher of The Washington Post, and management was revamped. It introduced a politically liberal perspective, expanded its coverage of popular culture, and, combined with its narrative writing style, attracted many readers. In 2010, it was acquired by American entrepreneur Sidney Harman. Like Time, Newsweek has somewhat retreated from hard-hitting articles by the 21st century, focusing on articles for the general public, such as stories about celebrities, but it has maintained a strong reputation for the accuracy and sharpness of its articles. At its peak, it sold over 4 million copies worldwide, and in addition to an international edition in English, it also launched foreign language editions such as Japanese (launched in 1986), Korean, and Spanish. In early 2011, it merged with the company that runs the news site The Daily Beast, launched by British editor Tina Brown, and Brown became editor-in-chief. On December 31, 2012, it moved completely to an online edition and ceased publication of its print edition. However, in 2013, it was sold to the emerging media company IBT Media, and the print edition was revived in March 2014.

アメリカ合衆国のニューヨークに本拠を置くニュース週刊誌。1933年,『タイム』(1923創刊)の海外ニュース担当編集者トーマス・J.C.マーティンが,『タイム』と体裁を似せて News-Weekとして創刊。1937年に誌名からハイフンがとれ,Newsweekとなった。初期の頃は分析的な署名入り囲み記事でニュースを解説し,『タイム』『U.S.ニュース&ワールドリポート』と並ぶアメリカ三大ニュース週刊誌と称された。1961年『ワシントン・ポスト』の発行人であるフィリップ・L.グラハムに買収され,経営を刷新。政治的にリベラルな視点を導入し,大衆文化の記事も拡大,物語性のある文体も相まって多くの読者を獲得した。2010年,アメリカの企業家シドニー・ハーマンに買収された。『タイム』と同様,『ニューズウィーク』は 21世紀にまでに硬派の記事からいくぶん撤退し,有名人のネタなど一般大衆向けの記事掲載に力を入れるようになったが,記事の正確さや切れ味などで確固たる評価を維持し続けた。最盛期には世界で 400万部以上を売り,英語による国際版のほか,日本語版(1986創刊),韓国語版,スペイン語版などの外国語版も創刊された。2011年初めにイギリス人編集者ティナ・ブラウンが立ち上げたニュースサイト「デーリー・ビースト」の運営会社と合併し,ブラウンが編集長に就任,2012年12月31日付をもってオンライン版に完全に移行し,印刷版の発行を終えた。しかし,2013年に新興のメディア企業 IBTメディアに売却され,2014年3月に印刷版が復活した。
