Print publications you subscribe to?

[Dick Whitman]

I just affixed a stamp on my invoice to "Esquire," ponying up for another year even though one of their esteemed senior writers called me a "****" on here a few days ago.

Do you still have any print subscriptions?

Mine are:

• Chicago Tribune
• Sports Illustrated
• Esquire
• GQ
• Rolling Stone
• Outside
• Whiskey Advocate
• The New Yorker

I think that's it.

You're mad he called you by your name?

Sports Illustrated is the only print pub I subscribe to.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is the only one I pay for.

I/we get tons of magazines, though -- Time, SI, BusinessWeek, Family Circle, Parenting, Southern Living, etc. -- because apparently those publishing companies think I'm that kind of doctor.

 

[da man]

The magazine I edit.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

I get Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, New York, The New Yorker, and ESPN. All cheapo subscriptions. I think Vanity Fair's coming soon thanks to that deal they offered after Trump mocked them. Might add GQ since I received an offer for $10/year. Have stacks of magazines to catch up on which I never will.

If I had a few extra hours in my day, I also subscribe to the New Yorker and Esquire, but I don't have enough time to read them.

I don't get any print newspapers anymore, but I have digital subscriptions to my local metro and the NY Times. We do have print subscriptions for National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Bon Apetit, Food & Wine and Car & Driver.

I'm down to 0. We end up reading the NYT magazine in paper edition, and my in-laws get SI Kids for my kids. My college & grad school still send me there monthlys. That's all that comes in the mail.

The magazine I edit
Golf Digest - as a benefit of my golf association membership. Otherwise, I wouldn't get it. Too much in-the-weeds instruction. Not enough interesting stories. I'll probably **** all over the Trump cover when it hits my mailbox. I understand, editorially, why Golf Digest produced the issue. But I don't have to like it.
ESPN - Only because of the Insider. They also are terrible at ending subscriptions. I haven't paid for it in years but I still get it. I appreciate the writing, but you can get it all online before the magazine hits.

That's it.

We were down to none for a couple of years, but honestly, we found that whatever spare moments we had to read something, we ended up on Facebook or mindless digital content. My wife would sit at the breakfast table thumbing through catalogs she'd already flipped through.

As my photography business picked up, I began reading more on the subject but I was paying rack prices and it seemed like a waste of money. So I subscribed to a couple photography mags and my wife picked out a couple of mags. Then my nephews had a fundraiser from which I subscribed to two more magazines, and then I got an offer on Black Friday for four free magazine subscriptions with a purchase I already planned to make, so we added to the pile.

Now, I'm not sure we can keep up with them all. I'll probably drop Food & Wine, Car & Driver and GQ when the free subscriptions run out (I'd have preferred Esquire to GQ, but it wasn't included in the deal)

Sports Illustrated
ESPN: The Magazine
New York magazine (a former employer)
The New Yorker (as a donation gift)
Glamour
my alma maters' alumni magazines (one monthly, one quarterly)

My mom has a print subscription to her local paper and a digital subscription to the one for which I work via my employee discount. Does that count?


I dropped my weekend subscription to The New York Times after discovering the sections I wanted to read were piled up near the couch, and that I got almost all the same information via push e-mail.

I used to get Rolling Stone as a gift from my grandmother, but that subscription lapsed after she died... and I didn't notice for more than a year. I've been thinking about signing up again because I don't normally see that content online.

I also get a weekly listings magazine which is now distributed free. I didn't realize I still had a paid subscription until the renewal notice, at which point I also realized I hadn't received an issue for quite a while. I called customer service and got a free year. I won't pay again, because the print edition arrives too late for the events to be useful.

Esquire, though they have tended to pile up in the last couple of years. In days past, I would read every article, but these days I flip through and maybe read one before it hits the magazine rack, never to be read again.

How on earth do you have time to read all that? I only subscribe to:
New Yorker
Economist
New York Review of Books

And I still can't find time to keep up, even though I commute 3 hours per day on the train. Probably bc I tend to read books

I used to be a dedicated cover-to-cover reader of my subscriptions, but far less so these days. Aside from my photography subscriptions, I mostly flip through to find something of interest and skip the rest. Part of that, I **** you not, is that I no longer read them in the bathroom (TMI? ).

I also read 3-4 books a month. I don't have kids, so right there, I've got more time than most people my age.
