Magazines
What (if any) magazines, newspapers or periodicals do you read regularly and/or subscribe to?
I cut down a bunch - realized I just don't have the time to read that many. Plus, the cost (not to mention all the paper wasted to publish all of them) bothers me. I get The Buffalo News every day (we're a 1 newspaper town, so I don't have much of a choice.) I subscribe to Taste of Home's Simple & Delicious (easy recipes - 6 issues a year) and Redbook (they had an offer - 12 issues for $9, couldn't pass it up.) Hubby gets FHM & Playboy. I read both, but I like FHM better - great little articles & funny features. We get Time at work, so I read that occasionally. I love browsing through People and EW, but I refuse to pay that much for a weekly mag. Ridiculous. My parents love the Star & Enquirer, so if I'm there I look. :D |
Only one that we subscribe to...
is the Daily Oklahoman (OKC newspaper).
Used to receive a free subscription to that crapfest of a magazine "Entertainment Weekly" (bka "Entertainment is Weakly" & makes a great catbox liner too!) but I called to have this piece-of-feces cancelled since I did not order it (Received it from some music online service) |
I subscribe to Blender, Jane, Bust, Vanity Fair, and Interview. Also my knitting mags- Vogue Knitting and Interweave Knits.
I read the trashy rags every Saturday during my shift at Borders. In Touch, Star, People, US Weekly. I also read the Buffy, Angel, & Battlestar Galactica mags when they come out. And, uh, there's nothing wrong with that. |
I don't subscribe to any magazines or newspapers.
BUT I do buy Glamour from time to time (it's a guilty pleasure). Also - each school year I do buy a 10week Entertainment Weekly sub. from my nephew's school fundraiser - but I never renew - and they always send it longer than 10 weeks :p I used to enjoy People - but it's become very tabloid-y lately. Newspapers - I get em all at work - Denver Post, Greeley Tribune, Ft. Collins Coloradoan and others.... |
I really like Vanity Fair. It has thoughtful articles. It is definitely liberal. Plus there is all the fashion and fun stuff too.
|
I subscribe to Ladies Home Journal (it was a 1 free year offer!), MORE magazine (for 40 somethings) and I used to subscribe to Redbook. For all around general usefulness, I really like Redbook. But the articles in MORE are geared more toward ladies my age. I also have a subscription to Simple and Delicious and its a great little recipe mag.

In Style
Ocean Drive W Vogue GQ Cosmopolitan Star In Touch US Weekly Life & Style Out/Avocate/XY (whichever looks better) and my favorite ever, Cargo, which just sent me a message that they aren't making anymore issues. :mad: |
I've had a Rolling Stone Magazine subscription since the late 70's. And I carted them around every time I moved. Never really knew why I held on to them. Last year I pulled the ones I wanted to keep and started putting the rest up on Ebay. I've made close to $1,000.00. My last two 3 year subscriptions were basically free because a friend had a link to a site that offered a 3 year subscription for around $6.00 total.

I subscribe to Paste, Harp, Vanity Fair and . . . Better Homes & Gardens. :o
|
Me: Guitar Player
My Wife: Vanity Fair, People, Time I didn't include the plethora of retail catalogues that also come on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. (like the IKEA catalogue & the Musician's Friend catalogues) |
I have subscriptions to:
The New Yorker (mom has been giving this to me since I was 18) Brain, Child Performing Songwriter Parenting (Mom gave it to me) I often read, and have sometimes subscribed to: Harpers The Economist The Nation I get the Sierra club magazine, and Making Waves, so I guess those are subscriptions, but they come with the memberships. I am supposedly going to be getting some free subscriptions to some audio engineering publications, and to Spin, but they haven't started coming yet. I try to pass these mags around, because it fels so wasteful to recycle them, just after reading. |
Vanity Fair and Allure are the ones I subscribe to. My yoga teacher sent me a year of Yoga Journal free. I also like Vogue, People US, The Enquirer and all those other trashy tabs.
