Newsweek, the magazine that will never die, debuted 82 years ago today. The first issue — then known as “News-Week” — sold for 10 cents. Fancier folk could opt for a year-long subscription for $10 a pop.
Headlines from the 1933 issue included “Easing Burdens of Debt and Foreclosure,” “Roosevelt Seeks Governors’ Aid,” and our favorite, “HORSES: Young Girl Upsets Even Tenor of Jockey Club.”
After a brief stint as an all-digital entity, Newsweek was purchased by IBT Media, which then resurrected the print version in March 2014.
