News Review was a British news magazine, first published by Cosmopolitan Press in 1936. Its publishers, who also launched Cavalcade around the same time, envisaged News Review as a competitor to the U.S. Time magazine. It was later sold to Odhams Press. [1] The headquarters was in London. [2] The magazine ended its run by eventually being amalgamated into Odhams' Illustrated magazine in 1950. [3]

Writers for the News Review included Reg Freeson [4] and a young Peter Dacre. [5] [6]
