General question about news magazines |
|
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.

2. Is that offered through a clearing house? |
|
$100.00 for a half year is a bit more than I can afford.

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.

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.

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.
