As CNN explains to its slower readers, "this is the media version of World Series keepsakes that were on sale in Cleveland and Chicago last week. Street vendors printed "Cubs win" and "Indians win" T-shirts, then trashed the Indians shirts after the Cubs won Game 7."
There is just one very notable difference: in the case of the World Series, there were two sets of shirts created. However, in the case of the infamous Newsweek special edition, the publishing company Topix, decided to print just one.
Guess which.
And this is where the "business decision" came in: according to CNN, "Topix made a business decision to only print the Clinton version ahead of time given that she is almost universally favored to win the election on Tuesday."

Newsweek has decided that Clinton will win tomorrow.
This is the cover that has been sent to newsstands. It was leaked by a bookstore employee.
This is the screen capture of her Tweet before her account was deleted and someone chastising her for fueling Trump supporter hysteria.
And Newsweek did confirm that they made two versions of the cover, one for each candidate, but it was a "business decision" to print and send out the Hillary ones.

So basically Newsweek is so sure of a Hillary win that they didn't even bother printing two editions. They just printed and sent one for their preferred candidate.
I wonder if anyone at Newsweek remembers this part of their election history? I'm not saying it will happen because I don't know, but at this point, it would be some poetic justice.

Didn't Newsweek go bankrupt in 2010?
"Business" decisions haven't always worked out well for them.
It appears that the OP contradicts it's own source.
The decision was apparently made by the publishing company, not Newsweek.

True....but...
...if it turns out to be wrong do you think people will know or even care about that or just not trust Newsweek as a reliable source of information and use them as the butt of endless jokes?
BTW - Does anyone know if Topix is the same company as The Daily Beast who originally bought Newsweek when it was hemorrhaging readers years ago? Or did they or simply Newsweek alone get purchased by Topix?

An intelligent person would not blame Newsweek for a decision made by the publishing company.
