Elle Decor magazine

Has the Washington Post declined in quality recently? Lately they have printed a series of long, "human interest" stories about an individual's personal journey through the world--more suitable for a magazine than a daily newspaper. Where's the news? The latest was Ted Koppel's "revelation" that, hey, people in North Carolina are different from people in DC/New York City/Frisco. That's not news to me, but apparently it is to the Post's editorial staff.

NYTimes, Washington Post, Economist, Chronicle of the Horse, Vanity Fair, Southern Living, Martha Stewart, and Vogue.

I used to get the Post. But now I’m so pissed at their billing methods. Not anymore. I paid for a one year deal over the phone with my CC. When the year was up they started automatic billing. It’s been going on since April and I just caught it a few weeks ago. They didn’t ask permission or notify me. They’ve billed me almost $400 since April. I’ve asked for a refund and they’ve refused. Now I’m disputing it thru my CC.

Paper: New Yorker, New York, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly (comes out more like every two months). Washington Post and NYT.

In hard copy - Washington Post and Cooks Illustrated.

Online - NYT and the Atlantic.

People magazine for sure.

The Holy Grail for everything “Pop Culture.”
I used to subscribe to Us as well as In Touch, but the stories inside are so fake.

Also RD, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping and O.
I am canceling my Cosmopolitan subscription soon as I no longer fit the reader demographic. 👵🏼
lol.

Online: Washington Post, NYT, NYT Cooking, Medium and I pay for a few substack newsletters

Paper: New Yorker. I really should cancel since I only look at the comics and instead read online. Have you seen that Good Place episode where purgatory has a stack of unread New Yorkers? That.

To my kindle: southern living and house beautiful. The best screen for these is my daughter’s kindle so I binge read them on vacations.

Online only: Washington Post, NY Times, NY Magazine

Atlantic, Washington Monthly, New Yorker. A bunch of housing magazines (House and Home, Elle Decor, etc.)

All magazine and newspapers are online, at least for a limited number of articles, so you can read a few and see if it's something you'd be interested in.

If I had even more time to read I'd get the Economist again. Maybe when I'm retired.

Also recommend the Atlantic, ny times, better homes & garden, country home, yankee (just cancelled), for awhile wsj (too expensive and conservative), town and country

NYT, New Yorker, WSJ, Boston Globe, Stat News (work pays but I would if they didn't), Stratechery (work pays) Dwell, Arch Digest, download Vanity Fair from the library for plane rides

Yes, we somehow get Golf Magazine for free. DH doesn't golf and I play once every five years or so.

Delivered in hard copy to the house:

Washington Post daily and Sunday
NYT Sunday
New Yorker
Canadian Home
HGTV Magazine
Smithsonian Magazine
Sports Illustrated

Paper:
Martha Stewart

House Beautiful

Online, I read the Bitter Southerner and Washington Post. I also scan news from the BBC and Deutsche Welle in Feedly.

Generally I also subscribe to The Economist, but I'm taking a break right now. It comes so frequently - and I can't not read it cover-to-cover - that it cuts into my fiction-reading time.

I recently stopped subscribing to Southern Living. I miss living in the south, but I'm also glad that I don't live in the south, and reading it just made me kind of sad.
