I subscribe to this magazine annually. Most weeks a copy of it comes through my door, most weeks, it can depend on whether it's a double issue, or what the post is doing. The journalism is so diverse they make me feel slightly dumb. Each week it contains articles, some of which inevitably leave me feeling really quite stupid as they are either far beyond my comprehension, or they are so esoteric I can't manage to muster up the interest to read them. Some times they are completely US centric and sometimes they are about things that happen around the world. Either is as interesting and worth reading as the other, and it's nothing to do with whether they are an article about trains that run between Texan power stations or persecuted journalists working in a poor country with a terrible repressive government. I like that the stories are always new to me, what this magazine deems news is invariably more interesting than what's available to be read in a comparable magazine in the UK. Plus it has dozens of great cartoons every issue, something few other publications in the world can boast to, regardless of where they are printed. It's often worth a read.
