Politico wants to power its way into your weekend news diet.
The political-news behemoth, part of Axel Springer, is relaunching its longform journalism efforts this weekend with a new crack at a weekly “magazine,” or in this case a package of five to six longform stories that will examine the people and polices that shape power around the world.
“There is a wide world of people who may read the Wall Street Journal’s ‘Weekend’ section, or The New York Times Magazine who we think we can pull in with a package of content that is aimed at the theme of power,” says Alex Burns, senior executive editor of North American for Politico, during a recent interview. “There are audiences who want deeply reported, richly written enterprise journalism.”
