Newsweek Launches Political Web Show

  • November 14, 2007
Newsweek.com will soon host a new weekly show about politics, executive editor Jon Meacham announced Tuesday. Produced by TV veteran Tammy Haddad, most recently executive producer of "Hardball With Chris Matthews" and previously vice president of political coverage for MSNBC, the new show is the latest major change at the company. It follows a major redesign of both the Web site and the print magazine and a shakeup of the title's top management.

In addition to streamlining navigation and interactivity options, the Web site's October redesign introduced 14 new blogs in categories including politics, parenting, science and technology and business. It also hosts a new weekly video message from Meacham, while Fineman conducts interviews with frontrunners in the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries.

The renewed emphasis on online content comes as the newsweekly's print version struggles with circulation and ad revenue.
