Graham, Chair and CEO of The Washington Post Company, says Newsweek lost $15.4 million in 2008 and $28.1 million in 2009.  Graham adds, “we don’t see a sustained path to profitability.”    

Media Bistro is busy collecting a raft of stories that analyze the Newsweek situation.

Magazine sales took a nosedive at the newsstand…down 9% overall in the 2nd half of last year.  Newsweek, Time and W  lost 35-40%.   Silicon Alley’s Business Insider says publishers are looking at the iPad and other tablets to get them into the big online newsstands so they can recover these losses.   The story comes with a nifty chart that pretty much says it all.
