Talented cover designer Ron Meyerson, who worked at Newsweek from 1972 to 1992, passed away on March 7 of this year. Meyerson joined Newsweek’s staff as the cover art director, eventually held a senior editor position and over his career designed over 1,000 covers for the magazine. He made incredible contributions to Newsweek’s coverage of the Watergate scandal, and in 2005, the Society of Magazine Editors selected Meyerson’s 1973 “The Nixon Tapes” cover-with the White House depicted as a reel-to-reel tape recorder-as one of the 40 best covers designed in America.
