Investigative business reporter Gary Weiss, himself a former BusinessWeek journalist, notes that this week’s cover of the magazine is a departure from recent its recent soft news bent.

The story is on option adjustable rate mortgages, which are beginning to hurt consumers who hold these type of home loans. Der Hovanesian wrote, “Those who took the bait are in for a nasty surprise. While many Americans have started to worry about falling home prices, borrowers who jumped into so-called option ARM loans have another, more urgent problem: payments that are about to skyrocket.”
Not to worry, added Weiss. He noted that the magazine is not cutting “on its menu of ‘journalism lite’ fare. Today it inaugurated a column by a psychoanalyst ‘who will tackle your questions about how to handle the emotional dynamics of work.'”
