    Wait a minute.
    Are you saying that if I get my PhD there's a chance I could get a Family Circle for free?

    What about Red Book?

    Some say that dissertation ain't worth the trouble ... my coffee table says they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

    I'm surprised a subscription doesn't require collateral. I go to the library to read it.

    As LTL noted, there would be fewer magazines if it wasn't for school fundraisers.

    The local newspaper, where I work (freebee)
    Idaho Catholic Register (twice a month, through church)
    High Country News
    Sunset
    Mother Jones

    Rolling Stone has been on and off for a long, long time (since I got a gift subscription in high school, late 1980s). Haven't had a subscription for a few years, but I'll still pick up one at the newsstand (!) once in a while.
    We also subscribed to The Nation for a few years, but it was too much of a chore to read it. Really, it's your great-grandparents' lefty magazine, and way too focused on the East Coast.

    My 30k-plus population suburb sends out a free monthly mag. Turns out our local Ron Swanson wannabes rather like having their pictures and rotating columns delivered in every constituant's mailbox and regard it as an important government function.

    I also get sporadic (and always late) magazines from the KSU Alumni Association that make the hometown magazine seem worthwhile.

    Our library has it available digitally so I will go through it on occasion that way.

    I have been a Rolling Stone subscriber since 1978 and wish they would stop fucking with their digital archives.

    He left when his editor left.

    None.

    Sweet Jeebus Christ, at one time in the 1980s I used to get four daily newspapers and probably a dozen magazines.

    Haven't bought a dead-tree newspaper in five years. There are like three magazines I subscribe to intermittently but they've all run out in the last several months.
