Hello Jan, We are a conservative school and we have all three magazines on our shelves. Of the three, I would say US News and World Report is the least biased and leans to the right. Newsweek and Time are about the same, leaning toward the left. All three magazines are valuable for their information, their special reports and their reflection of current world views. I have found that US News and World Report is a good counterbalance to TIME and Newsweek. I believe all 3 magazines should be purchased to keep abreast of current events. It is also important to have an awareness of issues and people who may have a different perspective than us. If you would like a conservative magazine in your library, I would recommend WORLD magazine. It definitely leans toward the right, yet its articles are well researched and well written.

Louisa May Alcott Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 11:04:57 -0500 From: Jan Buchholz <jbuchhol@ESU6.ORG> Subject: newsweek I have just been informed by the administration that our patron did not accept keeping Newsweek on the rack. He is asking for time at the next board meeting. Can any of you help me with how to verify if a magazine is biased or unbiased? Are U.S. News and World Report, Time, and Newsweek biased in their writing? If so, which bias do they represent. What could be valid responses to this situation?
