Do people even use physical paper media anymore is it all online? :p

But yeah what Magazines/Journals/Newspapers/Et Cetera does everyone subscribe to?


My Wall Street Journal subscription just got done, I never even read it, I just had to have it to do papers on articles for a business class last term.

I currently am only subscribed to Discover and Game Informer :p but I am debating on whether it would be worth it to subscribe to Science and Nature, they are expensive as shit but they seem to have great stuff in them.

Since EGM died no I do not. But if the rumors are true that EGM will be coming back in December I may get a subscription to that.

I get the quarterly issue of the International Tromobone Assn. that comes with being a member....

...and I buy Cosmo every month to get the same 99 sex tips.

My father is subscribed to a newspaper called "La Vanguardia", and as my mother is a doctor with a waiting room to be filled, I get my share of interesting magazines every month...

...Well, actually, as I don't like cars or "women's magazines", i basically get a magazine called "Quo".

And that's basically what I read in terms of press. When I worked at another newspaper called "Avui", I used to get it for free and read most of it, but right now I just read it on sundays, when I visit my gradfather (who is subscribed).

I don't subscribe, but I regularly pick up a copy of the Toronto Star. Sometimes I'll pick up Canada's other major paper, the Globe and Mail, and there was a spell back during your presidential primaries that I regularly picked up the New York Times (not for the election coverage, though)

Most colleges have an electronic subscription. Check through your library.

I don't think it would be worth it to subscribe to either unless you have money to burn.

If I had the $$ I would subscribe to some woodworking magazines, Popular Mechanics and Pop Science, and a handful of comics.

Edit: I don't subscribe, unless you count library fees, but this is the list that I read from every month:Science, Nature, PNAS, PLoS, ISME, IJSEM, Microbial Ecology, AEM, FEMS, Systematic and Biodiversity, Syst. Appl. Microbiol., Trends in Microbiol, Ann Rev Microbiol., Microbiology NY and UK. - I pick articles related to my field. So, that's about 15-20 per month.

As a student I get a bit of a discount. It's $75/year for Science and $99/year for Nature. If I have spare money soon I will probably get Science but might skip Nature for now.

As newspapers go, I'm subscribed to The National Post, my local newspaper, the Edmonton Journal.

Magazines: The Economist, Newsweek and Maclean's. I think I'll get a Wired subscription as well.

I used to love to read Wizard and CGW.

But both really went downhill. I don't even think CGW is around anymore, but used to be for both, you would get huge issues for $4.99

We're talking 200+ page issues of Wizard, plus priceguide. These days its what, 50-70 pages (counting ad's) for $5.99, a very truncated priceguide, no letters section other than Thwack!, no envelope art contest, no Mort of the Month, mainly just a circle jerk of whatever big is coming out next and a handful of comics priced.

CGW was great for its indepth articles on a huge variety of PC relatedness. Games of all genres, hardware reviews and news, dev interviews, you name it. Then it became harder and harder (at least locally) to find the non-demo disc version of the mag, driving the price up to $8.99 or $9.99 which I didnt even want the demo disc, I just wanted the mag.

These days I occasionally pick up an issue of Wizard, since I can't afford to read/collect my 15+ titles a month this helps fill me in on some of the stuff I miss.

I used to love Inquest/Scrie as well, back when I played M:tG in the 90's.

I used to be subscribed to LEGO magazine, and Bass Guitar, but I kinda grew out of the LEGO magazine, and Bass Guitar shutdown, and merged (microscopically) into Guitar World.

Now I try and pick up Wired, PC Gamer, and Mac|Life every month.

Smithsonian, only magazine I subscribe to. It's through points that I get from an online survey panel, so really I don't even pay for it.

Hmmm...

Of course I get the daily local newspaper.

In addition, I also subscribe to the bi-weekly university newspaper to get the run-down on what's going on for us students vis-á-vis politics, parties and whatnot. Plus, they used to spotlight local cartoon talents such as the Cursing Hedgehog (that hit it big hereabouts)... until their current comic which is about a cross-dressing private eye coming to Italy to solve the mystery of "the million-dollar schlong", or who stole Michaelangelo's David's dick. The art is something you would expect from a tween wannabe artist (I should know; I used to be one), and the fact that the artist tries to write the dialogue in English... BRRR!!! Terrible, terrible to read...

Also, I get Tieteen Kuvalehti: Historia ('Science Illustrated: History'), a pretty new publication and a history-focused off-shoot of a pan-Scandinavian layman's science journal. The articles are interesting and in-depth, which unfortunately puts the Finnish publication Historia to shame.
