May be because they help decorate a superstore or lure senior citizens into the market or whatever. Read on and find out why are they so popular.

 

10. Newsweek

As the name suggests this weekly, high quality slick American paper stack contains articles, discussions and opinions of scored, all time wining writers and journalists. So then you might think, why it’s so popular, in fact it should be “boringly” very popular, but be alarmed that this magazine is not intended for fashion geeks and entertainment junkies, it’s not your page flipping entertainment; it’s a serious attempt at news and the world today.
