I've been an avid reader of your magazine since I was in high school (I'm now 23). I didn't have access to Newsweek while living abroad this past year, so now I'm trying to catch up on the past couple of issues. However, I find this new print format a bit difficult to read - there's a lot of white space on the pages, and the layout of the articles makes them look like advertisements. Most troubling to me is that the hard news stories have lost their impact because the the page designs look less serious, even spacey. I appreciate your work to keep the magazine looking clean and efficient, but I think this layout design still needs a bit of tweaking. Otherwise, I like articles and columns as much as ever.

At Newsweek.com you will find a new site that uses the latest technology to make our content more accessible. Under the leadership of Deidre Depke, a team that includes Rolf Ebeling, Cathy Fenlon and Kevin Stuart has reinvented the Web site. There are more features, more video, more blogs, a Daily Conventional Wisdom and expanded coverage channels (with a special commitment to health news). Turn to page 8 of this issue for more on what you can expect to see online.
In this week's issue, Christopher Dickey and Jessica Ramirez explore Iraq's war marriages. Lally Weymouth pulls double duty, interviewing Clarence Thomas and Lebanese leader Saad Hariri. Evan Thomas and Mark Hosenball profile Blackwater's Erik Prince, the reclusive head of the controversial private security firm.
Redesigns can be unsettling, and we will no doubt be making adjustments in the coming weeks and months, both here and online. But overall, we like what we see—and we think you will, too. You are, after all, our only focus group.
