Ask Slashdot: What Good Print Media Is Left?

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-the-crap-in-my-mailbox-every-day dept.

guises writes: "A recent story discussing the cover of Byte Magazine reminded me of just how much we've lost with the death of print media. The Internet isn't what took down Byte, but a lot of other really excellent publications have fallen by the wayside as a result of the shift away from the printed page. We're not quite there yet, though. There seem to still be some holdouts, so I'm asking Slashdot: what magazines (or zines, or newsletters, or newspapers) are still hanging around that are worth subscribing to?"

    Yes, you can roll up the newspaper or magazine and kill mosquitoes with it.

      So they say! Although it is unclear why Geddy, Alex and Neil would be weighing in on this issue in the first place.

    Try different newspapers and see if she's expressing a political view.

    Or tabloid versus traditional fold in the middle, see if it's a class thing.

    Let me know how she feels about USA Today.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.

    Given that all your use cases are solved by a tablet and your complaint about smartphones is solved by a tablet... Why exactly will you never own one? Gypsy curse? Restraining order? Technomasochism?
