More room was made available in the front of the magazine for columnists, editors, and special guests. A new "News Gallery" section featured two-page spreads of photographs from the week with a brief article accompanying each one. The "NewsBeast" section featured short articles, a brief interview with a newsmaker, and several graphs and charts for quick reading in the style of ''The Daily Beast''. This is where the ''Newsweek'' staple "Conventional Wisdom" was located. Brown retained ''Newsweek''{{'s}} focus on in-depth, analytical features and original reporting on politics and world affairs, as well as a new focus on longer fashion and pop culture features. A larger culture section named "Omnivore" featured art, music, books, film, theater, food, travel, and television, including a weekly "Books" and "Want" section. The back page was reserved for a "My Favorite Mistake" column written by celebrity guest columnists about a mistake they made that helped shape who they are.<ref name="relaunch"/> ====Cessation of print format (2012)==== [[File:Newsweek final issue.png|thumb|right|The cover of ''Newsweek''{{'s}} final print issue [[The Newsweek Daily Beast Company]] owned the company from 2010 to 2013.]] On July 25, 2012, the company operating ''Newsweek'' indicated the publication was likely to go digital to cover its losses and could undergo other changes by the next year.
