How much would you pay for Newsweek?
Washington Post Co. to Sell Newsweek
When the iPad was released various talking heads and industry watchers wondered if it could save the newspapers and magazines which have steadily seen their circulations plummet due to internet competition and outdated... "business models". See here: Weekend Video: Can iPad Save Newspapers Magazines? Here: Can the Apple iPad Save Magazines? and on and on we go...
But Wired asks the $64,000 question: Can the iPad Save Newsweek?
Well, today Newsweek answered, in a Web Exclusive of all things:
President Obama says devices like Apple's iPad are rotting our brains. He's right.
Well, C'est la vie I suppose.
The world has plainly lost its mind explains Daniel Lyons:
So there it is. Technology has rotted our brains to the point where Palin and Beck are considered serious people.
But this is the media's take on you, the public: It's not us. It's you. You have devolved. You don't, maybe can't, appreciate the insight that a magazine like Newsweek provides; you'd rather play Farmville and watch Fox. Simpletons.
"Chairman Donald E. Graham cites multi-year losses. 'We are exploring all options to fix that problem,' he said."

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this, Glenn Beck has become an influential television commentator, and Sarah Palin is a credible candidate for president in 2012. You think this is a coincidence?
No way. What's happening is this: we are being so overwhelmed by the noise and junk zooming past us that we're becoming immune to it. We've become a nation of Internet-powered imbeciles, with an ever-lower threshold for inanity.
Beck and Palin are the inevitable outcome of that devolution. They are what we deserve. They are, in fact, what we've created.
So there it is. Technology has rotted our brains to the point where Palin and Beck are considered serious people.
