Newsweek is a weekly newsmagazine, started in 1933. It is perhaps most famous for its now-debunked article about an incident at Guantanamo Bay in which a Koran was allegedly flushed down the toilet. The story was eventually proved false, and Newsweek was harshly criticized for it.
The criticism stemmed from the fact that Newsweek enjoys a nationwide audience and some degree of respect as a member of the newsmedia, and as such is expected to maintain a certain level of factual accuracy. However, as the magizines writers and editors and either secular, jewsih, or in the case of several sports and entertainment editors, black it will be very difficult for Newsweek to maintain its reputation for much longer.
