 PROFILE
"U.S. News & World Report" is the #3 weekly newsmagazine in the US (behind "Time" and "Newsweek"), but it also has another claim to "fame": short-lived editorial careers. Brian Duffy is the latest editor (the eighth since 1984) installed by the magazine's owner, real estate and media titan Mort Zuckerman. (Zuckerman is also co-owner of the "New York Daily News" and in 2000 sold "Fast Company" to Bertelsmann-controlled Gruner + Jahr.) Focusing on national and international news, business, and science, "U.S. News & World Report" boasts a circulation of about 2 million. It also offers an online edition and is known for its annual rankings of colleges, hospitals, and mutual funds.
