25 years of The Week

It’s our 25th anniversary here at The Week, and it’s been quite an eventful quarter of a century for the magazine.

We’ve printed more than 1,280 issues, and have gone from analysing a few dozen newspapers and magazines every seven days to more than 200.

The Week has covered seven general elections, two global economic crises, six world cups and four royal weddings; we’ve followed landmark events from the rise of New Labour to the Brexit vote, from the impeachment of Bill Clinton to the election of Donald Trump and from 9/11 to the London Olympics.
