Thank you for the replies for information on the magazine, The Week, to include in a high school library. I only received positive reviews. Here they are in no particular order: -Diane Mustin, Librarian, Unionville High School, Kennet Sq. PA _gottocall@aol.com_ (mailto:gottocall@aol.com) Actually, I love this magazine and have been receiving it for about two years. I even sent my daughter a subscription when she began graduate school and didn't have alot of time to study the news in-depth. Current news, movies, music,books, and even real estate are featured. I enjoy reading editorials and op-ed pieces reproduced from regional sourcesso that I can get a sense of differing points of view, as opposed to continually reading newspapers and magazines which may be liberally or conservatively biased. Every New Years Eve the editor of the week joins our well-respected local NPR talk show host, Brian Leher for a call-in news quiz on the year's events. I suggest you go ahead and give it a try. IMHO, every college student should be given a subscription as a graduation gift. Suzanne Metz, LMS Robert R. Lazar Middle School 123 Changebridge Rd. Montville, New Jersey 07045 973-331-4170, ext. 229 _smetz@montville.net_ (mailto:smetz@montville.net) ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I also had requests for it. Now that we are taking it I have to say I am impressed. I think it tries very hard to cover all sides of the issue. It is at least as balanced as Newsweek or USA Today. Mary G. Milligan St. Luke's Episcopal School 15 St. Luke's Lane San Antonio, Tx. 78209 mfgmilligan@att.net (home) mmilligan@saintlukes.net (work) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- 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. Deb Waugh Librarian/Instructional Technologist The Emmett G. Shufflebarger Library at Graham High School Bluefield, Virginia _debwaugh.lm_net@frontiernet.net_ (mailto:debwaugh.lm_net@frontiernet.net) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- -I have seen the magazine--my 25 year old daughter subscribes to it. From what I have seen, it is pretty much straight news, taken from the other major news sources. It's a quick way to stay current with what's going on I the world. I didn't read it closely enough to get a slant, except that it has very broad coverage, including BBC and other reputable news agencies from outside the US as well as in. Hope this helps.
