I’ve been wondering, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The Economist Teen Vogue has had lots of interesting coverage on current events and social issues. It's a cheap subscription as well but only comes out 6/year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quark Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The Economist We had a Math Horizons subscription from MAA for about a year. Nice for math loving teens. The New York Times (digital, student rate) Proto - very interesting health sciences news Inc. (entrepreneurial news) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland Mist Academy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 It might be helpful if we explain why we enjoy the publications. One aspect of The Week that we enjoy is that it pulls from other news outlets. It is a curated national (U.S.) and international news digest. Instead of a long article written by one source, there might be several paragraphs pulling from various media outlets on numerous sides of the issue. We find it balances nicely with The Economist which has much more in-depth articles. We have several other subscriptions, which often vary from year to year, but those two are foundational. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Stoker Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 My kids read the New York Review of Books, the Atlantic, Harper's, the Walrus, and the New Yorker regularly, and Canadian Geographic and Geist occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No, no. Anything will do. I'm happy to hear all your kids' interesting reading publication material! And I'm mostly looking for print publications as we need more non-computer time. ;-) Thanks!! Great insight. I'm thinking holiday time and some subscriptions in the near future.

I'm thinking holiday time and some subscriptions in the near future. We also prefer print publications. Holiday time is when we choose and purchase our subscriptions too. Have fun deciding! Mental Floss might be another one to consider. It's fun and much less serious, but it still has lots of current events, history, and trivia.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 My celiac girl just asked for Simply Gluten Free. Just putting that out there because sometimes a special interest or need can be met with a specialty magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia64 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 We bought the Wall Street Journal for my sons, but i read it more than anyone. Such a great paper. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I've been surprised at how much in the way of current events (mostly science and technology related) that my DS gets out of Air & Space and Popular Mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The Economist Foreign Policy Wired (online) Lots of news on the site actually. It's one of my go to pages, especially for legislation that touches on tech issues. National Review (online) We really loved The Wall Street Journal, but they no longer publish in our state, so we can't get delivery any more. DH will usually bring me one home from the airport when he travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You were careful not to say adult magazines, but I still giggled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You were careful not to say adult magazines, but I still giggled. I did too! & it reminded me of when dd (at around age 5?) was first allowed to watch a real film rather than just animated cartoons (we were kinda weird about tv etc back then). She went around telling *everyone* "I'm allowed to watch adult movies now!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
