After 80 years, Newsweek editor-in-chief Tina Brown announced today that the magazine will cease print publication after the issue on December 31, 2012 and go online only in early 2013. “In our judgment, we have reached a tipping point at which we can most efficiently and effectively reach our readers in all-digital format,” said Brown in a statement. In place of the physical edition, Newsweek Global will be available for a paid subscription online and via tablet, with some content appearing at the Daily Beast, which partnered with the weekly two years ago. Since then, there have been clear signs this change was coming.
