Ask HN: Magazines that you read these days?

2 points·SatyajitSarangi··6 comments

The Economist provides a brief summary of seemingly everything. It is a bit of a struggle to get through it each week though. Sometimes I question how much I really care about China's economic policy. Sometimes they publish some really fantastic articles though. Much less chaff than most online news sources.

I'd recommend that everyone reads at least a few issues of the New Yorker. Some of the long-form reports in there are absolutely fantastic - the kind of article that you still think about months or years after reading. A subscription might just result in mountains of unread magazines though.

Not really start up related...

I wasn't exactly asking related to start ups. I think I grew up reading a lot of magazines, and somewhere, due to a lot of chaff, I stopped reading quite a few.

I generally don't like the whole "sensationalizing of news" standards of most magazines. Hence the question of what people read these days.

Just to clarify, the last line of my comment is related to the magazines I discussed (and not a criticism of your submission!)

I read Vanity Fair online quite a bit. They have excellent long articles on anything from the making of World War Z to Michael Lewis articles. I find the articles not only educational but very entertaining at the same time. I also read The Atlantic online for current affairs.

I find longreads.com quite useful for getting good magazine articles

I find byliners quite useful, too.
