New Newsweek sounds interesting - but is there no room for humor?

I really like the way Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham is talking about the focus of the "new" magazine, but wonder whether it's not a tad too serious.

Here's a summary of what he's going to do with the magazine, from his column.

"There will, for the most part, be two kinds of stories in the new NEWSWEEK. The first is the reported narrative—a piece, grounded in original observation and freshly discovered fact, that illuminates the important and the interesting. The second is the argued essay—a piece, grounded in reason and supported by evidence, that makes the case for something."

Frankly, I think that's not a bad description of what newspaper editors should be trying to provide in print. (The Web should be the news service.) But it's important that editors also tout the value of humor, of voice, of personality, of surprise. It's always worth remembering that the single part of a newspaper editors hear most about is the comics.

  1. The new NEWSWEEK turns out to be terribly designed and laid out, like a 1953 magazine, it is so awful, they even call the CONTENTS page as "New Week"....how sophomoric and silly

  19. Fake reaction shots are pretty easy to spot once you know what you're looking for. Did one person suddenly get blurry? That's because they had to digitally zoom the footage so you wouldn't see that it was taken from a different location or time of day. Are the store and street signs behind them backward? That's because they had to flip the frame so the person was gasping in the right direction.
