Newsweek Ends 80-Year Print Run With a Hashtag ⇢

Adi Robertson at The Verge:

On December 31st, Newsweek magazine will end its print run, shifting its content to an online-only format called Newsweek Global. It’s now posted the cover of the final issue on Twitter, showing a stark black and white photograph of the old Newsweek Building in New York — which the magazine itself vacated in 1994. While it’s eye-catching and pretty timeless, Newsweek couldn’t seem to resist topping the whole thing off with a hashtag, apparently either hoping people will take to Twitter to post about the #LastPrintIssue or just unable to resist a bid for relevancy.

Well, that’s just depressing.
