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]
