''Newsweek'' is an American weekly news magazine founded in 1933. Its print edition is available in English in the United States, Pakistan, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It is also available in Japanese in Japan, in Serbian in Serbia, in Polish in Poland, in Korean in Korea and in Spanish in all Spanish speaking countries. It is the second-largest news weekly magazine in the U.S., having trailed ''Time'' in circulation and advertising revenue for most of its existence. It is published in four English language editions and 12 global editions written in the language of the circulation region. Between 2008 and 2012, ''Newsweek'' underwent internal and external contractions designed to shift the magazine's focus and audience while improving its finances. Instead, losses accelerated: revenue dropped 38 percent from 2007 to 2009. The revenue declines prompted an August 2010 sale by owner The Washington Post Company to 92-year-old audio pioneer Sidney Harman—for a purchase price of $1.00 and an assumption of the magazine's liabilities.〔 In November 2010, ''Newsweek'' merged with the news and opinion website ''The Daily Beast'', forming The Newsweek Daily Beast Company, after negotiations between the owners of the two publications. Tina Brown, ''The Daily Beast'''s editor-in-chief served as the editor of both publications. ''Newsweek'' was jointly owned by the estate of the late Harman and the diversified American Internet company IAC. ''Newsweek'' ceased print publication with the December 31, 2012 issue and transitioned to an all-digital format, to be called ''Newsweek Global''. On August 3, 2013, IBT Media announced it had acquired ''Newsweek'' from IAC on terms that were not disclosed; the acquisition included the ''Newsweek'' brand and its online publication, but did not include ''The Daily Beast''.〔 IBT Media relaunched a print edition of ''Newsweek'' on March 7, 2014. ==Circulation and branches== In 2003, worldwide circulation was more than 4 million, including 2.7 million in the U.S; by 2010 it reduced to 1.5 million (with newsstand sales declining to just over 40,000 copies per week). ''Newsweek'' publishes editions in Japanese, Korean, Polish, Spanish, Rioplatense Spanish, Arabic, and Turkish, as well as an English language ''Newsweek International''. ''Russian Newsweek'', published since 2004, was shut in October 2010.〔("Publisher Shuts Russian Weekly" ). ''The Wall Street Journal''. October 19, 2010.〕 ''The Bulletin'' (an Australian weekly until 2008) incorporated an international news section from ''Newsweek''. Based in New York City, the magazine claimed 22 bureaus in 2011: nine in the U.S.: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago/Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Washington, D.C., Boston and San Francisco, and others overseas in London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Jerusalem, Baghdad, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, South Asia, Cape Town, Mexico City and Buenos Aires. According to a published 2015 column in the NY Post("Media Ink": March 6, 2015), Newsweek's circulation had fallen to "just over 100,000" with staff at that time numbering "about 60 editorial staffers," up from a low of "less than 30 editorial staffers" in 2013, but with announced plans then to grow the number to "close to 100 in the next year." 〔("New editor Impoco has Newsweek back in the black" ).
