Newsweek

U.S. center

Newsweek is privately owned by its CEO Dev Pragad and silent partner Johnathan Davis through NW Media Holdings, funded mainly by advertising and subscriptions. Independent bias auditors rate it roughly center, with some (like Media Bias/Fact Check) seeing a slight right-of-center lean in editorial choices, while others note a modest leftward drift since 2024. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has been mixed — running both favorable opinion pieces and sharp, sometimes satirical, criticism (e.g., a 2026 cover mocking Trump under the guise of praise).</summary>
