MWJ provides the best coverage of the Macintosh community - news briefs, new product coverage, technical articles and in-depth analysis -- in a weekly, easy-to-digest format delivered each weekend (about 48 times per year) to subscribers around the world. You can read MWJ in a compact PDF format (shown to the right), or right in your mail reader in TidBITS-style setext text-only format. Choose either or both - just don't look for rehashed press releases, wild product rumors, or any kind of advertising.

MWJ delivers on the weekend

Since its introduction in September 1997, MWJ has won readers on six continents in all walks of life for its professional and no-nonsense approach to the most difficult technical and financial issues affecting the world of Macintosh computing.

Each issue starts with the week's news, discussing, explaining, and analyzing everything from lawsuits and financial results to KnowledgeBase articles, developer tools, and trade shows. "Product Showcase" takes the more than 200 product announcements we see each week and condenses them to the top 25 (sometimes a little more). Both sections offer brief notes and pointers to items that are easy to understand, and in-depth treatment of the big stories, always aimed at giving you the broad picture fast.

MWJ contains stories you won't read elsewhere, products that may not have been explained in other forums, and less emphasis on continuing beta-testing of products since those releases change so frequently. MWJ provides unique news content that you may not see in your favorite daily sources, and provides it with explanations and analysis.

The bones each week, though, are the features. Each week, MWJ's features may delve into the technical (like Q&A, MacCyclopedia or other tutorial) or analysis (such as an extended media deconstruction or in-depth analysis of Apple Computer's latest actions). Sometimes the news drives more converage and sometimes we have three or even four articles' worth in one issue as events require. Each week, MWJ provides 16 to 24 pages of top-quality Macintosh information not available anywhere else at any price.

MWJ is an Even Better Bargain!

MWJ's content comes from MDJ, combined, edited, and reduced for a non-professional audience and a weekly publication date - instead of news one day and follow-ups for two or three more days as events transpire, MWJ merges it all together. Professionals need the best content fast, but if a weekly read is more your style, you can save money.

You might expect MWJ to cost close to the same price as MDJ, but it doesn't - in fact, MWJ is one-third the price of MDJ. For just US$14.95 per month, you can enjoy most of the benefits of MDJ readership in a weekly publication aimed at serious Macintosh users. That's about the cost of one bad movie a month - and there are so many bad movies you could avoid to choose MWJ!
