THE THINK ISSUE

In its first annual THINK Issue, timed to coincide with the first-ever Newsweek Daily Beast THINK Festival, Newsweek will offer insights about the world's top thinkers and rank them by reputation, scholarship and, perhaps most importantly, their impact on their community and beyond.

EDITORIAL HIGHLIGHT

    • Medicine
    • Health
  • Editors will then break down the profiles geographically, east vs. west, to try to determine which side of the globe is dominating the world of ideas right now
• DIGITAL: A rich media The World's Greatest Thinkers digital feature will appear on The Daily Beast in conjunction with the issue. In addition to expanded profiles, this companion piece will provide extra details and videos of the featured ‘Thinkers'
