What's it all about?
The Week is a (you guessed it) weekly current affairs magazine that gives you all sides of the story, enabling you to make your own mind up on the issues that matter most.
Their award-winning team scour over 200 global media sources and stitch together the key facts and opinions into one great read. Not only will it give you a refreshingly balanced perspective on hard-hitting headlines, you’ll also get an entertaining roundup of the best music, art, books, food and more.
What The Week means to me
"In a world of ever-fleeting content and constant distractions, there's something you get from taking the time out to read a physical magazine like The Week that you can't quite get through a screen. But like most of the news-related content I enjoy consuming online, I like that articles in The Week uniquely show both sides of a story and objectively what occurred before throwing any opinions out there to really help you feel you're able to create a more well-rounded opinion. An adult level up!"

Don't just take my word for it!

Great magazine! Great summary of news and press around the world - look forward to it every week.

Easy and enjoyable news round up. Concise and well curated periodical, covering the main topics and a good selection of non-headline news items.

I enjoy The Week so much that I watch my post box scrupulously for its arrival...I can't imagine my week without it!
