When moving my parents to a nursing home I had their mail forwarded to my home. Along with the usual bills was a subscription to Newsweek. I found the periodical to be odious to the extreme and detested their left-wing political slant. As time went on I ignored countless cancellation notices when the subscription ran out. That was over four years ago and we still receive the magazine each edition like clockwork. Clearly their circulation is on the wane and my guess is that they continue to distribute to unpaid “subscribers” artificially inflating their circulation numbers to maintain advertising rates. My take is their real paid circulation is well below 1.3 million. Good riddance Newsweek and don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out.
