I only subscribe to two magazines, and have for decades - Money and Kiplinger's. Sometimes I get some info that I can act upon, but otherwise I just have always enjoyed reading both in hardcopy versus online.
I stopped subscribing to any big city newspaper years ago, but do subscribe to our small town one, which only comes out three days per week. All the big city papers have gone so far Left they aren't worth the paper they are printed on.
What newspaper or magazine do you pay for?

Re: What newspaper or magazine do you pay for?
There are some inexpensive WSJ subsriptions for sale on eBay. I recently bought one and I am very pleased to see that my annual subscription expense has dropped from about $360/yr to about $60/yr.

I believe they have it for free on rewardsurvey. I have to go through a questionnaire to check but I believe it's often available there. Check it out. Cool way to get free mags. I am 99% online WSJ is there.
Lots of glossy magazines though.

Good to know bonglehead - thanks. I don't know of a really "legitimate" way to read read it for free - thus my question to munemaker. The only references I've found is the facebook redirect hack (easy to do - but requires you to hit the linked-in reference bookmark upon each and every article/page viewed) and the "modify a PDF string" trick for the print-edition PDF (Requires you to change date along with section and page number of print-edition URL). Both are cumbersome and legitimacy is certainly questionable.bonglehead wrote:There are some inexpensive WSJ subsriptions for sale on eBay.

New York Times
Texture app which has over 100 magazines
Both I really enjoy because once the apps sync I can read them off line.

One I forgot earlier (edit would get lost in long thread): Undercurrent. A monthly dive review newsletter/magazine that carries no ads. Well worth the $40 a year...

Re: What newspaper or magazine do you pay for?
I am a member supporter of my local public radio station as I get a lot of national and state news from NPR, CPR, the BBC etc. as I drive.
I pay for and read:
The NYT and WaPo to support investigative journalism at the national level
The High Country News for its coverage of the Intermontane West, particularly of environmental issues
The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and National Geographic in print for longform articles
The local newspaper because they cover local city/county government issues
The Guardian and Foreign Affairs for international coverage
Online I read a lot of aggregated Google News. I try to avoid cable news outlet stories on the principle that I despise automatically starting videos.
I also read numerous technical journals in my professional work.

Re: What newspaper or magazine do you pay for?
Those were the two methods mentioned in the previous thread. If they are too cumbersome for you, then you probably need to buy a subscription.
