I read _The Economist_ for news analysis,
Unix World, Digital Review, Mechanical Design,
Scientific Computing, and Unix/World for work,
Wooden Boat and Kitplanes for kicks,
and Time & Newspeak for laughs.
Whatever to Bill Gaines and MAD? I loved that
rag when I was in HS...

Mt favorite magazines offer me an escape from the daily grind.
Since I hope someday to get my 53 Caddy running again I subscribe
to:
Cars & Parts
Nostalgia Cars
Hemmings, etc.
I also enjoy National Geographic, Penthouse, and Organic gardening.

� What are your favorite magazines?
"National Geographic" and "Guns & Ammo"
� Do you find a sufficient variety of magazine selections in
� bookstores that suit your interests?
No
� Which magazines do you find lack seriousness - or find offensive?
Lack seriousness? "Soldier of Fortune", "Cosmopolitan" (I've only ever
read the English version - I'm told the US version is different...)
and "Mayfair" (I have a lifetime subscription courtesy of the fact
that they once bought a centrefold and supporting pictures from me -
the sub appears to be their way of reducing the photographers fee).
As for finding them offensive I never read more than one issue
of anything I find offensive and haven't had even that missfortune
in recent years.

|
Ms., Executive Female, Consumer Reports, National Geographic, Fine
Homebuilding.
For fun and dirt, I read People while waiting for Doctors and while
my hair is under the dryer at the beauty shop.

| re .4 I used to read "M" but ads now flood its pages like GQ.
Esquire is not like it once was and Mayfair seems to
have gone downhill too. Can't have everything I guess.

| re .7 Steve,
I was going to entitle it "Men's Magazines" but felt
that such title might be too exclusive.
I'm curious to see what our noters like to read and if
they are satisfied with the magazines that are available.
In time I may form some prejudices about the literacy
level of some people, but feel that such ideas are best
kept private. :-)

| 215.10 | What do the simple folk read? | BLITZN::LITASI | Sherry Litasi | Fri Mar 04 1988 10:00 | 14 |
| My other choices at the beauty shop include Ladies Home Journal
(I read "can this marriage be saved"), Woman's day, Redbook,
and equally disgusting hair design and other boring mags.
People is for my "inquiring mind". Plus it keeps me in touch
with how Madonna and Sean are getting along. I can check up
on all my favorite sex symbols.
I always think I'll bring along some work to do, but never do.
The beauty shop is a place to escape and pretend I'm going to
be beautiful when I get done spending $65...but that's another
topic.

So I like flying, my 4wd, and free-market thought ?
I guess I like American Photographer, too, as I'm a frustrated
magazine photographer. Along those lines, I buy one issue per
year of Sports Illustrated, and it's not the NFL preview issue...

Bookstores with good selections are few and far between around
here; best selections I have found are at Henry's newstand
in downtown Worcester, and the famous subway newstand in Harvard
Square, Cambridge...I need to check out the B.U. Bookstore in
Boston (I'll need to use about a week's vacation time to cover
everything, I think, as is the case with the Harvard Coop...)

| Read on a regular basis:
Consumer's Report
Read when I'm waiting for the Dentist/Doctor/etc.:
National Geographic
That's it. I will read a recommended article in any magazine provided
I don't have to purchase the magazine (borrow from a friend, find
it in the local library, etc.).
I do read newspapers - at least four every weekday and three on
Sunday. Saturdays are a day of rest if the week's newspapers are
finished.

| I read TV guide faithfully everyweek. Think I spend more time reading
that than watching TV. I like their interviews.
Other than that, no real time for mags, I do like and photography
magazines. The perfect opportunity to just "look at the pictures"
and not have it mean that I'm lacking interest. I like to imagine
I actually took some of those shots.

| 215.21 | Changes in National News Mags: Good or Bad? | MCIS2::POLLITZ | | Tue Jun 14 1988 01:55 | 19 |
| In recent years, magazines like Time and Newsweek seem to be
more and more resembling 'People' magazine.
There are more 'feature' articles.
Some Newsweek contents include 'The Arts' and ' Lifestyle'.
These 'Entertainment' sections are expanding with time.
Do you think that a National News magazine like these 2
should focus on 'real' news more?
Are they 'selling out' to boost sales to an entertainment oriented
Society?
Or do you like the changes? And if so which ones?
