WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News Media Group, one of the nation's leading sources of news analysis and service journalism, today announced that its newly released digital-only product U.S. News Weekly is now also available on Amazon Kindle.

"By providing U.S. News Weekly content on Amazon Kindle, it's easy for readers to receive the news analysis and in-depth reports they want.
