‘All you need to know about everything that matters’ is what ‘The Week’ says it offers you – a bit sweeping perhaps? After all, it doesn’t tell you what your other half was really up to at that office party, or how to open a milk carton without creating a dairy fountain. It does, however, give you a pretty good briefing on what’s happening in the world and how people are dealing with it. I’ve had a subscription to The Week for about...umm…four years, as far as I can remember – it works out cheaper that way - just over £1 per copy, rather than £1.65. I took up the special offer that you can still find ...  Read the complete review

have subscribed to The Week magazine for over a year now and thought I was long overdue writing a review of the magazine. The Week is a weekly (thus the name) news magazine that covers all the weeks' main news stories from the UK and around the world.

The Week is an excellent weekly, condensed news magazine. It selects the most important and well-written news from many sources, and provides it all in one, easy to handle, entertaining magazine.

The Week is an ideal publication for people like me who would love to read a broadsheet but don't have the time. It selects articles, comments, photos etc from national and international newspapers to give the reader an informed view of the week's news. The first page summarises the week's main stories and the second has a selection of comments from the papers on each story. There is a page of politics, followed by a page entitled 'Europe at a glance'. This has a map of Europe with arrows to the places where events took place - very useful if your geography is as dodgy as mine. World news is covered in the same way on the next two pages. ...  Read the complete review
