The Week
Three words sum up The Week: witty, intelligent, objective. In its simplest sense, The Week is a unique and witty digest of the best writing from the British and foreign press. Taking just over an hour to read, The Week brings the reader up-to-date with current affairs at home and abroad.
"The trick of editing The Week is in achieving the right tone, in getting the selection right and ensuring the approach is a balanced one."
Jeremy O'Grady, Editor-in-Chief

A quirky mixture of hard practical information and commentary on one hand to the most interesting houses and the best tabloid gossip on the other, the selection of material ensures The Week has a clear editorial voice and spirit of its own.
At the heart of the magazine is news, both UK and international, accounting for nearly half of the pages. Other sections covered include leisure (food, wine and travel), the arts (theatre, cinema and book reviews) and the City (financial commentary and a regular sharewatch).
The brainchild of Jolyon Connell, ex-Sunday Telegraph deputy editor; The Week is a combination of information and entertainment, delivering everything from briefings about important topical issues, to what happened in The Archers. The quality of writing underpins the magazine's success. The Week's Editor-in-Chief Jeremy O'Grady, part of the founding team, is an author and former film censor and works closely alongside a talented editorial team and a wealth of experienced contributors.
