, we not only made "newsweek" a better place to work, we made "newsweek" a better magazine.y bringing in more voices, and more points of view and by giving our readers a more accurate reflection of society. this is true for every institution including congress. women not only enrich the culture, they broaden the vision and the mandate. but we aren't there yet. in 1993 women compromised 10% of congress. it is taken 20 years to take us to o -- 18% today and in company women compromise about 15% of executive level positions, and that number has not changed in 10 years. until i vote about the "newsweek" lawsuit, our primary place in history was lost. and so i'm particularly grateful to the washington press club foundation, not only for this prestigious award but more importantly for preserving and promoting the contribution that women journalists have made and continue to make in our country. and speaking to young women with about the good girls revolt, i have discovered that they are eager to learn our history. their history, and so we have to keep honoring our four mothers and

and turn it into a digital age successfully which has been tough to do given the experience in "newsweek". >> it is. it's an enormous challenge. one thing i think facebook has done really well is to it rate, is to never be satisfied with the product at any moment given in time. a lot of times that enrages a lot of facebook users, but i think on the whole it's made for a better and better product that's adapted as technologies have adapted. i think our challenges -- we've had this enormous -- we can't just sort of put out a new website or a new magazine and say, okay, now it's just our responsibility to do good content. we have to do great content but continue to change and iterate. nothing stays the same. the number of people who are accessing or long-form substantive information on their phones for instance is something that blows people's minds. 25% of our traffic is coming from iphones and android devices. most people say how is that possible? are people really reading a 2,000 word piece on immigration or why grandmothers exist on their phones? and they are. so we have to think about

"newsweek" marks the most powerful woman in american history. the article reads like a piece of campaign literature than a serious examination of her record and her accomplishments. certainly, look, mrs. clinton is highly intelligent, she a global celebrate and she reached a level that few men, let alone women ever reach in our country. yet titles don't tell the entire story. the benghazi attack. a failed reset with russia. a more powerful and emboldened china. an iran closer to a nuclear weapon, slark terrorists fans out across north america? simply put, under barack obama and hillary clinton, the u.s. has been unwilling to lead. and this has left a huge vacuum on the world stage. in a recent assessment of secretary clinton's tenure. michael owe o'hanlon of the brookings institute wrote even an admirers such as myself must admit few big problems were soflted on her watch. few big vic trises achieved. secretary clinton's work at the state department should be judged on whether she has left america's foreign policy in stronger or weaker position.

she was dubbed the most powerful woman in history by newsweek, and many feel there is more to come from hillary clinton. today she stepped down as secretary of state and already there is talk about another possible run for the presidency in. today the former first lady turned senator turned secretary of state talked about the middle of the night phone calls from the state department operations center. >> i am for a proud to have been secretary of state. i will miss you. i will probably be dialing ops just to talk. >> when hillary clinton first came on the world stage often the spotlight was focused on the hair. her role in health care, and her husband. >> i am not someone standing by her man like tammy why net. i am here because i love him and respect him. if that is not enough for people, then heck. >> but she leaves a much larger legacy traveling more than 1 million miles as the nation's top diplomat, winning over even her toughest critics including the man that she took on for the presidency. >> they seem to like barack obama more. >> well, that hurts my feelings.

but i remember a "newsweek" audible coming up talking about "the year of the mormon," and it had romney' s base on it. i remember wondering if we had somehow manifested this reality, or is it: it's the adults that all of these things are converging at once and this truly is the mormon moment. i question that a little bit because it was strange. it is rare that any pop cultural event will have such crossover appeal that book of mormon had. it is even stranger that a musical, seen by 1100 people per night, gets that type of appeal. for me, it was one of those wow moments, where this was bigger than any of us thought it would be. i do not think it influenced the election in any way, and i do not think it influenced people's decision to make mitt romney their candidate, if that is what you're asking. i do think it was just one of those strange, you know, situations. tavis: back now to "1600 penn," you are the guy behind the project. how did you know that this was the right vehicle, to do the sitcom thing? >> i did not know. i had sat down with jason winer, a mastermind behind "modern family

take a look at the cover of the issue of "newsweek." with me is former pennsylvania governor ed rendell and cynthia tucker. where would you put hillary versus cleopatra for history's sake? >> cleopatra immediately came to mind for me too. i think hillary clinton still probably has some history in front of her to make before she can be declared the most powerful woman in history. i'll put cleopatra a little ahead of her. >> we settled that. ed markey -- let me ask you, rendell, governor rendell, let me just try to bother you a little bit. back in 1979 you were convinced that ted kennedy could not be beat for president of the united states. you were out there with billy green. i'm trying to hold onto my speech-running job at the white house, you're trying to take it away from me. so times change. is it conceivable in your hillary hart that times could change of the next three years and she would not be hot to trot to run, that there may not be this ground-swept support for her? doug macarthur i'm told back in 1951 was unbeatable when he w

time" magazine three weeks ago reported as a cover story how the constitution is under siege, and "newsweek" about two months ago had a cover story about the failure of americans to understand our government. some very scary statistics. two out of every three graduating high-school students today believe that the three branches of government are republican, democrat, and independent. that is an actual poll. 75% of all americans don't know that religious freedom is protected by the first amendment. 75%. more americans can name the judges on "american idol" than on the supreme court of the united states. what does this mean to us? how did we get here? well, first of all, unless the next generation understands the obligations imposed by the constitution, we are going to have a serious, serious problem. my children can always tell me about their rights, but very rarely tell me about their responsibilities. those responsibilities are critical to our future as a country. the fact of the matter is, if we do not understand the constitution, if our children do not understand the constitution, and ap

and i mention that because i was reading an article on prophecy in newsweek magazine a while back, and there was just a tiny little insert, blurb from her - i guess it's her new book - that described her, what we should call interpretation of revelation and the apocalypse. everyone's concerned about this and there's all kinds of war and negativity and armageddon - we'll talk about that. but hers was so poetic and so deep. her roots were very, very deep, and you get with a person like that, and you know what's going on. you can talk in a religious studies session about religious experience and we can create types and means of looking at them, but you get to talking to the believers, which is why i so much like to bring them in - even if we have to see them in video, we know we're getting somewhere. as we move through the semester, you can test for yourself, but we will have guests in here and see how things are as we move through them. yeah? janet? >> it was funny that you brought up the word cloister , because i grew up on the south side of chicago, and it was bungalow house, one after
