aaah i FINALLY got my relevant magazine today, so excited....

i was just wondering tho', and i thought this would be a good topic, what magazines does everyone here subscribe to?

i'm currently subscribing to relevant, sojourners magazine, and re:generator.... to start it off.  all very awesome, in my opinion.

i have a shady past tho'  -->  i used to only subscribe to in style magazine and vogue... terrible huh.  those were the days...  :P

Right now I only subscribe to Action Pursuit Games, a paintball magazine.  I used to suscribe to National Geographic(I want to subscribe again.) and Popular Science.  I'm currently looking for a good guitar mag to subcribe to.

I really want to sucscribe to Relevant but haven't yet. My grandmother subscribed me to Teen a few years ago. That was scary.

Alas, my particular niche (stalking Andrea) doesn't have a magazine yet, so I don't subscribe to any. I read Rolling Stone online, though; their writing is always very cool, even if I don't often agree with them.

I subscribed to World Magazine thinking that I would be more likely to keep up with the news if I subscribe to something, but I am ashamed to say that I don't really read it.

World Magazine is among the best Christian publications. Much better than Christianity Astry- er, Today, in my opinion.

I've considered Relevant, as well, but the quality of the writing on their site is just so bad... it skyrockets every time Andree and myself contribute to them.

You can get World magazine online http://www.worldmag.com/   I think the content on there is the same as the print one.

Mark gets Relevant magazine.

I've been getting PC Gamer magazine for a while, though I usually only read the letters and hardare reviews. My dad gets PC Magazine, and I like to read some of the industry news and hardware stuff they have in there, too.

yeah, but the thing is, I never read the news online. I'm more likely to read it if it is in print so I can flip through the pages and take the magazine with me somewhere. the print version also has more pictures. I like pictures. LOL.

eeeh, there are fans of World magazine in here?  you guys are going to hate me for this, but i despise that magazine. i found it to be completely biased with a specific political slant that likes to bash democrats...  ah well.  

sojourners magazine is far superior ...  but then again maybe I'M biased.    =)

Well, there is absolutely denying World's strong conservative bias.  There is no way it should be your primary news source.  But then again, nothing should be your primary news source.  I'm at Sojourners site right now, checking it out...
[EDIT]Ok, I read through several articles and columns at http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm  They are just as left as World is right.  Just as biased, just as much opposite party bashing as World.  Maybe if you read both, they will cancel each other out, you will have a perfectly balanced opinion! =D

It's hard to get unbiased news, but I find that more news sources lean left than right. One that's as far right as World might help balance things out, but reading two dissenting opinions doesn't necessarily give you an accurate picture of the issue...
