Time, Newsweek, and US News: Year of Living Dangerously
Last Updated Oct 15, 2008 6:15 PM EDT Advertising revenue figures for magazines in Q-3 have been released by the Magazine Publishers of America, and it was a bloodbath. Industry-wide, ad revenue dropped 8.8 percent from the same period last year, from over $6.5 billion to under $6 billion. Particularly hard-hit again once were the leading titles once known as "newsweeklies," e.g., Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report.

Because I believe the rankings are a joke. Here's my reasoning: U.S. News doesn't try to measure the type of learning taking place at schools across the country. Instead the magazine is simply conducting a high-stakes beauty contest. Twenty five percent of each school's score is based solely on its reputation -- deserved or not. Since the reputation of Harvard, Princeton and the rest of the Ivy League gang is excellent no matter what crazy things they do, they begin each rankings cycle with a huge head start. On the other extreme, schools like Trevecca Nazarene University in Tennessee and Nova Southeastern University in Florida … [Read more...] about Why US News’ College Rankings Are a Joke
