The death of the print edition was caused by falling advertising revenues, as audiences moved online.

From the new year, Newsweek will be a digital-only publication. Editor Tina Brown described it as "a new chapter" for the magazine.

In a defianteditor's letter, she wrote: "This is not a conventional magazine, or a hidebound place.

"It is in that spirit that we're making our latest, momentouschange, embracing a digital medium that all our competitors will one day need to embrace with the same fervor.

"We are ahead of the curve."

Ms Brown became editor of the publication two years ago, after it merged with The Daily Beast, a news website she co-founded in 2008.

Newsweek's first edition was published on 17 February, 1933. It made an immediate splash with its front cover, featuring seven photos - one news story for each day of the week.

Although it always took second place to its rival, Time, it gained prominence in the 1960s for its coverage of the civil rights movement.

【新闻快讯】北京时间12月24日早间消息,美国知名刊物《新闻周刊》将于12月31日停止发行印刷版杂志,全面转向名为“新闻周刊全球”的数字版刊物。《新闻周刊》已在Twitter上发布了最后一期印刷版杂志的封面。这一封面采用了一张黑白老照片,为纽约新闻周刊大厦旧址。该杂志已于1994年搬离这座大厦。尽管《新闻周刊》的内容可能不受影响,但该杂志仍然无法抵御印刷杂志陷入衰退的趋势。该刊的印刷版已有80年历史。
