Magazines : Time (2-year)

Rating: - Time...Like Clockwork- Subscription Is The Way To Go
My "Time" magazine arrives like clockwork weekly in my mailbox. I am always happy to see it there among the bills and the junk mail. I recently dropped cable TV, and "Time" fills in all the gaps for me, and gives in depth reports on newsworthy events that are just glossed over on the local stations.

From the big world events, including special reports on recent global events - sometimes with special issues - that effect us all, to what's new in the science and industry world, the economy, the latest inventions and gadgets, to sports and people in the news, and TV, movie and music happenings, there is something for everbody. It's a periodical that lets me catch up on the newest terminology in the cyber world to the newest star in the hip-hop world. It amazes my kids that I would even know this.

The articles seem well researched, are well written, interesting and very informative. Find out if the video game your child is playing is suitable for their age group, who we lost this week, great quotes and much more. There are excellent photos and even the letters to the editor seem more insightful and informative then anywhere else. From Politics to Fitness, from Food to Technology..it's all here.

The price is right for a subscription.This 2 year deal at this time is exceptional for 112 issues! You get your money's worth, and will have the world at your fingertips.

Keep up the pace with "Time"....Laurie

Rating: - good--as far as it goes, that is
Time used to be a lot better; they would spend more time on the pages of the magazine informing people about the news, life and times of our generation and even other generations. They would continue to do follow-up stories more so than they do these days. However, slowly but surely, the magazine has rejected that strategy in favor of more frequent sensationalist front page articles and many more advertisements in the weekly issue.

One thing I do like very much is that once in a while Time devotes the bulk of an issue to a retrospective view of times past. Their person of the year choice is always suspenseful; and I like that issue very much in particular.

Overall, if you want a weekly news magazine, Time is one of those out there to consider. Remember that there'll be more ads than ever before; but the articles that they do present are very well written.

Three stars.
