Editing Entertainment Weekly (section)

====Reviews====
Seven sections of reviews are in the back pages of each issue (together encompassing up to one-half of the magazine's pages). In addition to reviews, each reviews section has a top-sellers list, as well as numerous sidebars with interviews or small features. Unlike a number of [[Europe]]an magazines that give their ratings with a number of stars (with normally 4 or 5 stars for the best review), ''EW'' grades the reviews academic-style, so that the highest reviews get a letter grade of "A" and the lowest reviews get an "F", with plus or minus graduations in between assigned to each letter except "F".

The sections are:
;"Movies": Typically, this section features all the major releases for that weekend, as well as several [[independent film|independent]] and [[foreign film|foreign]] films that have also been released. Chris Nashawaty is the primary [[film criticism|film critic]]. "Critical Mass"  was a table of the grades that have also been given by a number of noted movie reviewers in the American press (such as [[Ty Burr]] from ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', Todd McCarthy from ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', and [[Roger Ebert]] from the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]''). Also eliminated from this section was the box-office figures from the previous weekend and some sort of [[Information graphics|infographic]]s. The A+ rating is rarely awarded by ''EW''. Two films to have received it are ''[[Citizen Kane]]'' and ''[[My Left Foot (film)|My Left Foot]]'' (1989). [[DVD]]s are now profiled in the one-page "Movies on DVD" section that follows. Longtime critic [[Lisa Schwarzbaum]] left the magazine in 2013, and critic [[Owen Gleiberman]] was let go after a round of layoffs in spring 2014.<ref>{{cite news |title= ''EW'' Lays Off Longtime Film Critic Owen Gleiberman in Staff Purge |url= http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ew-lays-longtime-film-critic-693094 |work= The Hollywood Reporter |date= April 2, 2014 |access-date= June 27, 2014 |archive-date= August 13, 2014 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140813042011/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ew-lays-longtime-film-critic-693094 |url-status= live }}</ref> In 2015, it started publishing the scores of movies from [[Metacritic]], [[Rotten Tomatoes]], and [[IMDb]] under "Critical Mass."

;"Television": This section features reviews by critics Darren Franich and Kristen Baldwin for [[television movie|made-for-television film]]s and new [[television program|television programs or series]], as well as some [[television special]]s. The section no longer includes the [[Nielsen ratings]] for the previous week. On the following page is typically a "TV on DVD" section, profiling releases of television films and specials or complete seasons of television shows. Current reviewers include Melissa Maerz.

;"What to Watch": Currently written by Ray Rahman, this features brief, one- or two-sentence reviews of several television programs on each night of the week, as well as one slightly longer review, usually written by someone else, with a letter grade.

;"Music": This section reviews major [[album]] releases for the week, divided by [[genre]]. Typically, at least one interview or feature is presented, as well as a section called "Download This", highlighting several [[single (music)|single]]s available for download from the Internet.
