The Week, styled as THE WEEK, is a weekly British news magazine which also publishes a US edition, and between 2008 and 2012 additionally published an Australian edition.

History

The Week was founded in the United Kingdom by Jolyon Connell (formerly of the right-of-centre Sunday Telegraph) in 1995.[3] In April 2001, the magazine began publishing an American edition;[3] an Australian edition followed in October 2008. Dennis Publishing publishes the UK edition and, until 2012, the Australian edition. The Week Publications publishes the US edition.

The Australian edition of The Week ceased operation in October 2012 and administrators have been appointed to its publisher, Dennis Publishing Pty Ltd (Australia). The final edition, its 199th, was released on 12 October 2012. At the end, it was selling 28,000 copies a week, with a readership of 83,000.[4]

Content

The various editions of the magazine provide perspectives on the week's news and editorial commentary from global media to provide readers with multiple political viewpoints. In addition to news and opinion, the magazine also covers science, business and the arts. The magazine is known for a wide focus that incorporates current events, news, health, media, science, arts and more.[5]

Website

In September 2007, the magazine's U.S. edition launched a daily website. Edited by Ben Frumin, the daily website carries the mission of the print magazine to the Internet, but also publishes original commentary from writers including David Frum, Robert Shrum, Will Wilkinson, Daniel Larison, and Brad DeLong. The UK website, which was first published under the name The First Post, is edited by Holden Frith.[6]

The WeekDay app

In October 2015, the UK edition of The Week launched a free iPhone app called The WeekDay.[7] Published twice-daily, the app contains a digest of news and analysis. It is also edited by Holden Frith.[citation needed]
