What it does
The Week is an English-language current-affairs magazine and website that selects and explains news, ideas and cultural subjects. Its US site combines a rolling editorial selection with recent magazine editions.
The recent-editions route gives readers a defined reading session, while the topic sections make individual subjects easier to follow. The publication's value lies in its selection and framing, so important stories can also be followed through their credited sources. Choose the US or UK edition before browsing. The Explainer and In Pictures provide different formats for approaching a current story.
