   Time, Newsweek, other
  I recently started reading online news sources, watching C-SPAN, and watching TV news shows. But I still feel like reading a magazine that has more in-depth coverage of current events. Time and Newsweek are good examples of what I'd be interested in.I'd be interested in hearing how Time and Newsweek compare, or if there are other similar magazines out there that I might want to check out instead.   
  Newsweek's alright, personally I prefer Discover and Scientific American though.  Those last two are more science-ish magazines though, and focus very little on politics.   ;Quote:Original post by GreenToadNewsweek's alright, personally I prefer Discover and Scientific American though.

They're both quality publications, but I feel that Newsweek does a better job of analysis and etc. And I like their sense of humor better. Time IMHO seems a little too, uh, "mainstream"? (for lack of better word.)They aren't the only two though. I also get US News & World Report, best known for its annual survey of the nation's top colleges.   ;  The EconomistYes, it is more expensive than the big three of US news magazines, but this UK-based magazine offers a much wider analysis of world events.  Plus, I see it as less biased (whereas I see US News as conservative, Time and Newsweek as more liberal publications).   ;Quote:Original post by ErunamaThe EconomistYes, it is more expensive than the big three of US news magazines, but this UK-based magazine offers a much wider analysis of world events.

I noticed that my library has copies of it, so I'm going to go there and read some issues.
