Newsweek.com To Post New Articles Daily

IN AN EFFORT TO GENERATE more consistent and sustained weekly traffic levels, Newsweek.com today plans to announce editorial and design changes to its site. The initiative, dubbed "Every Day, Every Week," will feature in-depth coverage of a different topic--such as health, business, or political affairs--each day of the week.

The site's weekly traffic currently ebbs and flows throughout the week, said Newsweek.com Senior Editor Deidre Depke. Traffic peaks at the beginning of the week upon the magazine's release, tapers off, and then sees a smaller bounce on Thursday.

"We want the site to be part of people's regular routine, whether they read the magazine or not," said Depke. "We know what we're not--we're not going to be regularly breaking news stories--but we can deliver the thought-out, analytic take that Newsweek is known for every day."

'30 Minutes' All the Time: Ray Gets a Magazine

If your cable system carries the Food Network, you can pretty much spend every day with the super-perky Rachael Ray. Just this week, new episodes and repeats of her three shows will take up 15 full hours of the network's schedule.

Should that still not be enough Ray for you, take heart: The "30 Minute Meals"/"Inside Dish"/"$40 a Day" host and prolific cookbook author will soon be available in magazine form.

The Reader's Digest Association announced Monday (April 25) that it's launching Every Day with Rachael Ray, a lifestyle magazine that aspires to capture the same burgeoning audience that has made Real Simple a big seller. The magazine will center on food but also include tips on travel and entertaining and profiles of chefs, home cooks and foodie celebrities.

It's Turnstile Justice

JUSTICE Magazine, the new true-crime title, that debuts on the longest day of the year (June 21) will be sold in Wal-Mart stores nationwide.

It's something of a coup for a start-up title to be carried on the racks at the nation's largest retailer. "We're locked and loaded," said Randall Lane, the president and editor-in-chief, who's promising advertisers he'll sell 250,000 copies of the bi-monthly.

The launch has a star-studded lineup of columnists: Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor on the O.J. Simpson case, will write a consumer advice column called The Advocate; and Mark Geragos, defense attorney for Scott Peterson and until he got the boot, for Michael Jackson, will co-write the Opening Arguments column with Nancy Grace, the ex-Atlanta prosecutor who has her own CNN Headline News show and frequently subs for Larry King on his show. Also included will be former FBI man Joe Pistone, who was immortalized by Johnny Depp in the 1997 movie "Donnie Brasco" about his years undercover in the mob.
