Legendariska Newsweek kommer att upphöra som pappersutgåva den 31 december 2012, efter 80 års utgivning.
After years of losing money, Newsweek announced on Thursday that it will stop printing its magazine and become a digital-only publication.
"Newsweek will transition to an all-digital format in early 2013," editor Tina Brown wrote in an email to employees early on Thursday. "As part of this transition, the last print edition in the U.S. will be our December 31st issue."
The new all-digital publication, called Newsweek Global, "will be a single, worldwide edition," Brown wrote. The e-magazine will be supported by paid subscriptions and made available for e-readers for both tablet and the Web, with some content available on The Daily Beast.
