Who Is Minding the Store at Newsweek? Yesterday, my colleague Joe Pompeo called up Newsweek to ask whether the company was planning to issue any corrections or clarifications of Niall Ferguson's cover story, "Hit the Road Barack," in which countless manipulations and outright misrepresentations are marshaled in favor of an argument against Barack Obama's reelection. 'Newsweek' Tumblr Adds to Publication's Woes As if Newsweek needed another headache this week. Already mired in a controversy over this week's Niall Ferguson cover story , Newsweek is receiving even more backlash this afternoon over a decision on the magazine's Tumblr account. After a back-and-forth exchange with the Huffington Post's Tumblr (which this morning used a coat hanger on its homepage to highlight a GOP abortion platform article ... Newsweek's anti-Obama cover story: Has the magazine lost all credibility? The conservative historian Niall Ferguson pens an error-filled tirade against Obama, and the struggling weekly concedes that it didn't fact-check the story Paul Krugman Shows Newsweek How to Fact Check Paul Krugman is pretty much done picking on Niall Ferguson for his widely-criticized takedown of President Obama and is moving on to Ferguson's publisher Newsweek.

It's not quite Time's "attachment parenting" cover story, but Newsweek is certainly generating some headlines of its own this week 'HuffPo,' 'Newsweek' Face Backlash Over Abortion Metaphor Both The Huffington Post and Newsweek are battling backlash for their use of coat-hanger symbols to protest a call for a Constitutional ban on abortions without exceptions for victims of rape and incest. The call for the ban appears in a draft of the GOP's official 2012 platform, according to CNN. The front page of The Huffington Post was taken up by a large image of a coat hanger late Tuesday ... Newsweek Loses Creative Director to The New Republic The Niall Ferguson storm may finally be over, but the latest out of Newsweek isn't great: Creative director Dirk Barnett, who led the Tina Brown redesign of the magazine and revamped a handful of titles before that, will once again go do his thing, this time at the hoping-to-be-hip New ... More » Forget 'The Wimp Factor'; Now It's Time for Obama to 'Hit the Road' Newsweek editor and provocateur Tina Brown must be thrilled that Niall Ferguson's "Hit the Road, Barack" cover is the talk of the morning, but, actually, it's not because the essay hit on some universal truth or was an exquisite piece of journalism—it's because everyone is cutting the piece off at the knees. First off, Brown and the crew at Newsweek deserve a slow clap for their amazing trolling ... Newsweek Creative Director Poached by The New Republic Could an era of less splashy Newsweek covers be at hand--or has the final control between Tina Brown and utterly unfiltered buzz been removed? Dirk Barnett, the creative director of Tina Brown's Newsweek— and thus the man responsible for the Photoshopped "Diana at 50" cover, the " first gay president " cover and a phallic asparagus that we found particularly amusing—is off to the staffing-up New ...
