Abstract

This paper analysis newsmagazine from their cover, aiming at drawing the cartography of the territory they integrate – closer to newspapers, to magazines or somewhere between the two. To give this analysis some distance, we go back to 2009, a year marked by Barak Obama’s rise to office in the US and the economic crisis in Europe, alternating between hope and concern. Content analysis was done on 307 covers of six newsmagazines. Four of these correspond to international, large circulation publications, two American, Time and Newsweek, and two French, L’Express and Le Nouvel Observateur. The remaining are Portuguese national circulation newsmagazines – Visão and Sábado. The cross results point to the hybrid nature of the newsmagazine, but signal a split between the international titles, closer to the universe of newspapers, and the national titles, closer to magazines.
