*lol* You asked:
Why would Newsweek be published in English in Europe, Asia, or Latin America?

...implying that you thought it´s not true.

I posted their worldwide websites to show that it´s true.
Oh, and the case is solved. The image is true butthe article
about Afghanistan was also in the US-edition.

I was asking why their print editions would be english in areas where most people don't speak/read english as a first language.

To prove this you posted .com websites?

(You do realise that ".com" is an American domain and that in the USA they speak ENGLISH, right?)

Well, then you answered your own question: :D

*most* people.

There's only 4 million kiwis.

We're part of the Asia-Pacific economic-political region. We're not part of the Asian continent.

You still haven't demonstrated how an online english-language domain website explains why a non-english domain print edition would also be in english.

I'll give you a clue:

There's only two editions of Newsweek - US and International. While the US edition might lead with a domestic story of interest, the International edition will (obviously) always lead with an international story. All international editions are the same.

Honestly, the whole conversation is pretty weird because
to answer a question with another question proofs nothing.

Anyway: You´re wrong concerning the same contents in
the international edition. I´ve read about cases where this
was not the case but usually they seem to have the same
contents and concerning the "Afghanistan-Edition", the
whole article was included within the american edition and
mentioned on the Cover, too.

Frankly - i have no clue why they publish their products
in english all over the world. I also wonder how many
english readers they have in south america but even
all their "local" homepages are in english.

I really think this is reaching.

C'mon, if you go into a McDonald's in different parts of the world and order a Happy Meal, you're not going to get the same thing, now are you?

All this shows to me is that the magazine plays to different market forces in different parts of the world. And perhaps citizens of the USA are averse to certain news stories, either from saturation, disinterest, or illiteracy, who cares? Anyone who wants to find out can learn all of that stuff. There is No Conspiracy. fnord.

Well, i couldn´t have said it better since the whole
mystery is solved on one of the last pages. :)
 
I'm a bit late in reading the Hustler article, but I laughed long and hard when I read the Loose Change sidebar.

"In the two years since it first hit the internet, the breakthrough 9/11 video Loose Change has been an eye-opener for millions of people. With young guerrilla filmmakers Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas gearing up Loose Change: Final Cut for wide release, we talked with the film's Executive Producer, Korey Rowe.

No arguing 'bout young Magilla Bermas. :D
 
New Zealand (of which I am a resident of; in Auckland) and Australia could be in their own 'section', as Oceania or Australasia.

The problem is, if you mention Australasia (especially New Zealand) to anyone outside of it they tend to say 'Austri what?' :p

No they are not perfect; they are inerrant.
