I've been a subscriber for many years and I find BW to be informative, current and well written.

New format accompanied by downgrade of former quality

This used to be a solid informative business publication.  However, coincident with its new format, the quality seems to have suffered enormously.  In addition, there appears to have been a new slant toward sensationalism that I do not associate with past issues.  For example, a recent cover screams "Meltdown: For Housing, The Worst is Yet to Come".  The quality of the accompanying article is not up-to-par with past articles.  For instance, it uses a quote about "macaroni and cheese" that makes little sense.  Mac & cheese may be boring if you eat it every night but the quote instead argues that it somehow "doesn't leave room for anything else."  Happily, the newly formatted BW leaves plenty of room for top flight business journalism like that found in the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and others.

As a weekly, Businessweek is timely -- unlike Fortune where I have often read the admittedly well-written stories two or three times before they make it into Fortune's pages.

Businessweek takes a critical view of business and its role in society, often warning about the dangers of growing income gaps, for instance.

But the magazine is often uncritical of business leaders, praising them one year and blaming them for company failures the next -- part of the media's tendency to lionize individuals as the expense of better analysis. But it's my favorite end of week reading.

In the recently revised format, I recommend resumption of weekly (multiple) articles on governmental policy and legislation.

This is a so-so business mag.

Whatever happened to the old Business Week?
