Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Magazine "The Week"

["Debra W. Waugh" <debwaugh.lm_net@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

I would highly recommend "The Week". It is sort of a "Readers' Digest" of
news magazines, taking excerpts from a large variety of reputable news
sources to present a balanced look at world events and events in the U.S. I
love the maps feature where they point out the location of events that are
happening worldwide. What a great way for students to get a short review of
geography as they need it.

Subject: [LM_NET] GEN: Magazine The Week

A teacher at my high school asked me to purchase the magazine, The Week,
for the library.  It looks like it has a catchy layout  for news that would
be attractive to high school kids.  I am  not sure what its editorial slant
is.
...would you recommend its addition to our magazine  collection, which has
the standard news mags. like, Newsweek and Time?  Thanks.
