<p>ok so whcih magazine is the best to keep up with current day politics and has a college level vocabulary i want a subscription but i don't want a childish magazine i want a good weekly magazine with lots of interesting stories does any one know of a magazine like that.</p>

2

<p>the economist is pretty good</p>

3

<p>The New Yorker</p>

4

<p>else you'd have to scan through hardcore academic journals</p>

5

<p>I'm a fan of the Economist. You can go to your school or local library and see which ones you like.</p>

6

<p>New Oxford Review.</p>

7

<p>The Economist, especially for International Politics and News - it's separated by regions so easy to scan which part of the world you want to read up on. You should check it out.</p>

8

<p>I like The Atlantic myself!</p>

9

<p>I wanted to ask the same question except I'm looking for a college level magazine about literature, cinema, current intellectual trends, etc. Like people's opinions on current events outside of politics.</p>

10

<p>TIME, New Yorker, Foreign Affairs</p>

11

<p>gotta love TIME!!!!!!</p>

12

<p>The Economist and The Atlantic. Sometimes, I like The New Yorker as well.</p>

13

<p>The Economist
Time Magazine
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC !!!! everyone needs to read that</p>

14

<p>I third/fourth/whatever The Economist</p>

15

<p>You can't go wrong with The Economist and The Atlantic. Time is...mediocre by comparison, coming from a person who gets all 3.</p>

16

<p>Newsweek isnt the most 'academic' magazine, but i like how it presents current issues in ways that the majority of people can understand.
Time is similar, but not quite as simplistic as newsweek</p>

17

<p>In addition to The Economist and The Atlantic (which are more general news publications than politics):</p>

<p>Political magazines:
The Nation - left wing
The New Republic - left-of-center
The Weekly Standard - neo conservative
National Review - classical conservative</p>

<p>Better described as "journals of statescraft":
Foreign Affairs
Foreign Policy
Current History
The National Interest
The American Interest (new, but with big names. Breakaway from The National Interest)</p>

<p>These are the big ones I know about. If I had to pick two, I'd get The Economist along with Foreign Affairs. Or better yet, just read them at the library.</p>

18

<p>God I hate FP. Any magazine that uses Thomas Friedman should just end itself.</p>

19

<p>Cosmopolitan</p>

<p>Personally I love The Atlantic!</p>
