About The Week

For over 15 years, The Week has been making sense of the week's news by distilling the best of the British and international media into a succinct digest. It provides an effortless and enjoyable shortcut to the most important stories from the past 7 days.

Everything you need to know in just ONE hour

We all want to know what's going on in the world, but few of us have the time to read one newspaper from cover to cover, let alone all of them. In Britain alone, they amount to a staggering 5,800 pages a week – almost ten million words. Now, there's a plethora of news websites too. So, keeping up to date with what's happening, and understanding all the issues, from all angles, has never been more difficult.

But the answer is at hand – The Week. The Week takes the very best of the British and international news and comment, and distils it into just 35 succinct editorial pages, to help you keep abreast of events and form your own opinion of the latest issues. With the key stories delivered in bite-size chunks, you'll get the whole picture quickly, and easily - whether you choose to read The Week in print, or in digital on your iPad, iPhone, Android device or Kindle Fire.
