Online magazines/news you are willing to pay for

[Deleted member 82064]

Simple question. What are some online publications you are currently paying for or would consider to pay? Do you for example have subscription for NYT and is it worth the money? Or are you happy with the X amount articles per month most papers give you?

I only have one subscription and it's for The Paris Review. I'm not even that interested in the new issues but they have amazing archives of interviews with great writers. I'll probably stop subbing once I'm done with the interviews.

Financial Times is another one that I could see myself paying for. They have very through reporting and Lunch With FT usually has interesting guests.

The Athletic. Probably the most consistent source of quality sports journalism out there.

If Video Game print media was still viable, i'd totally still have a subscription to a few different game magazines. Kinda miss opening up the mailbox to see GMR, OPM, GI, OXM, and such.

On-topic, I've always been a fan of the long-form articles of The Atlantic. They have thoroughly impressed me in the past and raised the bar for quality journalism. ProPublica and The New Yorker are also excellent for investigatory journalism.

I subscribe to the online edition of The New Yorker. It's one of very few remaining places where long-form journalism still has a proper home.

Call me part of the problem but the answer is zero.

I pay for Edge magazine, and I have a few patron subs for podcasts. Thats it.

Not a single damn one.

They do killer profiles as well. The Atlantic is another great source for long-forms.

Mediapart. Their investigative journalism is always thorough and amazing, and I already subscribed to them in the past, and will again in the future.

I pay a monthly fee for The Guardian since it is basically my main source for news, also read a lot of their football (soccer) journalism.

Nothing else but I hope to start contributing to more things once my kids are both at school. As I will have more money and time (at least, I hope).

I get the Kindle edition (do not enjoy reading long pieces on a laptop/phone) but I echo this.

Their recent pieces on the COVID response in the US, and the Capitol were fantastic.

Is worth the pay if you don't understand french? Seems like they have lot of content in French only.

The New York Times for daily news, though I'm frequently reminded of their cutting editors because I usually spot 1-2 errors each day. Subbed to The New Yorker for a time mostly for its fiction section, but since that was the only reason, I didn't keep it.

Back in high school it was print copies of The Economist and Foreign Affairs for FX, but I personally wasn't a fan of their editorial slants and didn't keep them past college. Haven't subbed to them online either.

Not exactly sure it would, no. Although they do dabble into international matters as well, but they're very much centered around French issues. God knows we have them!

 

[Pixieking]

The Washington Post. They may not quite hit the high points of the NYT, but they at least don't hit the low points of that paper either.

 

[TheAbsolution]

NYT/WaPo - the political news they put out is too frequent, decent quality with good sourcing, and posted everywhere on the internet for me to not subscribe.
Otherwise, I'd be too frustrated with getting around the paywall all the time.

 

[Mugy]

The Athletic UK. Lots of in-sight información about sports and most noticeable, the Premier League. Super recommended if you are into football

I was actually thinking about a similar thread, but instead of online magazines, I was thinking if people subscribe to physical magazines these days?

I am thinking of picking up a sub on either GQ or Mens Health, but don't know which is the better one? A magazine combined with sort of political/entertainment news articles, fitness tips and so on. Anyone have a good insight on those? Or even a better option?

Cant say theres a single one out there I really need. Anything thats worth reading will eventually make its way out on via social media and websites. Look at Era here with Washington Post stuff. Its all paywalled but I get the juicy bits here.
