History of Newsweek

In 1993, Newsweek produced a CD-ROM sold quarterly by subscription and at retail outlets—the first such electronic publishing venture by a major magazine. In 1994, Newsweek went online on Prodigy and in 1996 moved to America Online. In Oct ober, 1998, Newsweek.com was launched. On June 19, 2000, the site entered into a joint venture with NBC, MSNBC.com and MSNBC.  In October, 2007, Newsweek.com relaunched as a standalone site with a new design and updated technology. Since 2001, Newsweek.com has been honored repeatedly for its coverage of politics, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, global and homeland security  and health and business coverage . In 2006  and 2007, it was honored as a National Magazine Award finalist.  In 2007, it was nominated for an Emmy Award. Written by Newsweek's top correspondents around the globe, Newsweek.com leverages leading-edge technology to help shape its coverage. The site has set the standard for successfully integrating print and online content in the newsmagazine business.
