Do you subscribe to any magazines or newspapers?

Same here, it’s nice just to sit and read with a coffee.

Also get GQ and Total Film.

I get a read of my parents P&J paper (a proper regional news paper) when I visit them at the weekend.

I used to like GQ, but then it went so heavily advert based i found it lacking in actual content.

I subscribe to a digital version of Trail Running magazine. As above, it's nice to read something that you might not normally read about, and usually good articles on equipment/routes etc.
 
I forgot, I also subscribe to Fall-line ski magazine, only runs during winter. Highly recommend it to anyone that takes their winter sports seriously. 1st issue of the new season I think is out in October.
 
I barely read magazines anymore but I do have access to the digital versions on my iPad (Apple News+) which I occasionally skim, if I'm bored.
 
Home Cinema Choice here. Used to subscribe to Edge but dropped that. Now I use Readly at £8 a month on my iPAD. Awesome.
 
We get Country Living as a coffee table read and I have a digital subscription to Fine Woodworking. Both are pretty good value for what you get. I can decide about a newspaper subscription. I'm tempted next year to try one out.

I just thought it would be interesting to see what people read. I subscribe to the Financial Times as my main source of news and then Practical Electronics, New Scientist and Scientific American for magazines because I'm very keen to improve my science knowledge in general.

What about you?

Are we talking paper only, or digital too?

The missus tends to get an occasional cheap sub for i think something called "Readly"? - i might have made that up, it something like that. But gives you access to hundreds of different mags, so have used that to read various tech mags.
 
Only things I get on paper are my rspb and butterfly conservation charity 'magazines'.

I don't have any other paid electronic or paper stuff. Just not really my thing.

Try to avoid subscriptions as much as possible
 
I've got a subscription to Trail magazine, but only because it was a free perk from one of my bank accounts and was the only thing worth getting. It is nice to have something to read in the bathroom though!
 
Used to but in all honesty they're usually out of date by the time they're out due to websites etc. I do sometimes pick up the odd magazine when out shopping but honestly, even finding a magazine I'm interested in reading is a struggle these days.

The last one I subscribed to was more about the 'free gift' than the magazine, although not a bad magazine, because it was cheaper to buy the subscription than the 'free gift' (half retail). It stopped being produced part way through and was given the option of replacing it with esquire (I should have took the refund, it was more 'advert' than magazine and so out of touch with normal readers imo)... that didn't get a renewal no matter how much they kept trying to 'encourage me' to renew.

I sometimes toy with grabbing a magazine or two which cover my area of work but even that can be found online far easier these days.
 
A place nearby has a selection of magazines and I hit Country Life and the Spectator for their Bridge columns, then flick through for anything of interest.
 
I subscribe to Amiga Addict, nice getting a magazine about a retro specific computer/console. They even sent a sticker which I could put on an old disk of a brand new game.

Not since PC Gamer came with a CD-Rom full of drivers and demos taped to it.

Prior to that Amiga Power until it died.

Still get the National Trust magazine as part of my membership.
