General question about news magazines

[junkiebrewster]

What news/ politics magazines do you read and/ or subscribe to?

I'm about to subscribe to a few and wanted to get a general idea as to what is trusted or highly regarded.

I already subscribe to the Economist, simply because the international coverage is excellent. I'm looking more for coverage of domestic issues.

1. The Nation

...I love it and it is weekly so it is very current.

2. Is that offered through a clearing house?

$100.00 for a half year is a bit more than I can afford.

7. You must be thinking of some other magazine, it's nowhere near that expensive

4. Mother Jones

Mother Jones is a great lefty magazine. I also read The Nation religiously.

5. Rolling Stone has had some great feature articles lately

10. YEah, but

Their music coverage has gone to shit.

6. The Economist

also a weekly. Published in UK and not easily categorized as liberal or conservative. "The Nation", to me, can be a little breathless in its reporting.

11. I already subscribe....

BEst international coverage anywhere.

14. Sorry, missed that in your OP /eom

12. Out of the big three, which is the best?

By big three, I mean Time, US News, and Newsweek.

13. I know some well-informed people who swear by Newsweek

But I personally think all of the big three are just print versions of CNN/Headline News.

In other words, no depth whatsoever.

15. All three suck.

But if you're looking to rank them from Blatantly and
Unabashedly Right Wing to only a little Right and sort-of
ashamed of it, my ranking would be:

o US News
o Time
o Newsweek

At one point, I was simultaneously subscribed to all
three and that was the order in which I cancelled my
subscriptions.
