U.S. News & World Report goes monthly

MediaBistro's Fishbowl reports that U.S. News & World Report magazine will move from a biweekly magazine to a monthly publication, after struggling to compete with competitors like Time and Newsweek.

The page count in U.S. News' monthly issues will increase (as it did when the magazine went bi-weekly) and it's likely that many of the issues will prominently feature a "Best Of" feature. With these changes, the magazine hopes to continue its website improvement and expansion, increasingly moving its content online (you may have noticed that the magazine has already boosted its Health, Business, White House, and Opinion sections).
