Newsmagazine

A newsmagazine, sometimes called news magazine, is a usually weekly magazine featuring articles on current events. News magazines generally go a little more in-depth into stories than newspapers, trying to give the reader an understanding of the context surrounding important events, rather than just the facts.

Major news magazines in the United States include:

TIME

Newsweek

U.S. News and World Report

WORLD

The Nation

Major news magazines based outside the United States include:

The Economist (United Kingdom)

Maclean's Magazine (Canada)

Television news magazines

Television news magazines provide a similar service to print news magazines, but their stories are presented as short television documentaries rather than written articles. Examples include:
