Newsweek before the merger was obviously known for it's newsy, information-rich content, but like many other companies, they had to focus on both new content and audiences in order to survive. That's where The Daily Beast comes in. It heavily depends on the Internet to fuel its fire.
The merger brought one company which called home to in-depth, investigative components and combined an audience that was used to opinionated, sharp, breaking news stories from around the world. Seemingly similar, but far apart.
In the end, whether readers liked it or not, it had to be done. This marriage brings material to over 9 million unique visitors a month and the magazine reaches 14 million readers in America alone, per this.
It's a great looking site, and it's up to date throughout a wide range of topics. It makes sense why the two parties came together. They are still able to maintain a website and physical magazine quite successfully.
