Quick! What newpapers and magazines do YOU read?
How many can you list? Just pretend even, make up some. But be quick because, after all, being able to come up with answers is Part of the Job. Can you do better than "all of them that were put in front of me"?

were put in front of him or her?

11. Someone puts Vogue and More in front of me when I'm getting my hair done.
I'm not exactly a Vogue kind of woman!

...except perhaps in a very narrow field of interest.

I've never seen SNL Jeopardy. That sounds amusing. :o

7. All of them! Everything! Anything!
It would have been better if she had said the National Review and Newsmax. USAToday would have been better.

Ranger Rick would have been better.

Highlight's or Reader's Digest would have been better than no answer.

She wasn't programmed with that talking point, and she is not allowed to ad lib it. Or she doesn't read.

9. New Yorker, Atlantic, TIme, Newsweek, Syracuse Post- Standard,
Edited on Tue Sep-30-08 10:27 PM by hedgehog
Funny Times, Prevention, Organic Gardening, Scientific American, Smithsonian, National Geographic. Some I read cover to cover, others I browse. Some aren't thought of as news magazines, but they give a lot of back ground info on important issues.

Also America and National Catholic Review.

And the Valley News - covering events in Fulton, Granby, Volney and the rest of Oswego County!

21. I'm a Google News fan
Which means that I get my news from several sources. New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Newsweek, USA Today, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Times UK... the list is endless and dependent on the headline.

I grew up in a newspaper family. Many a Sunday was spent at may father's feet, waiting for him to give me the paper, section by section. We had all the major magazines back then. A walk into the local bookstore (where there were papers and magazines from all over) was like walking into a candy store.

I used to buy newspapers and magazines regularly but with the Internet, I don't need to. I can read articles from any venue in the world, as long as it's online and in English.

22. to be honest? I don't read mags... I read articles on line...
Newsweek, Time, WSJ, USAToday, Atlantic, Nation, Salon, Boston Globe, SF Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, NYT, Atlanta C-J...

That's all I can come up with "quick."

Surely, all she had to say was WSJ and she was done. She couldn't even do that.

24. Good job all! I didn't think it was that tough of a question.
NY Times, BBC,Seattle Times, Boston Globe, Ntl Geo, oh crap some natural health magazine thing, Gardening, The Boatman, The Economist, just read NewsMax and ripped it up, NOLA.com, Sun Herald.

Hey Sarah, how about Alaskan magazine? Hunters of the Wild? Anchorage Daily News? You have to learn to be ready to answer questions when you KNOW you are getting interviewed. How can anyone believe you could answer questions in an unprepared situation if you can't do it when you KNOW you will be asked questions? Good lord woman. Feminist my ass, you give a really bad feel to that term. Bimbo maybe. But not feminist and way not ready to be vp. It takes more than not blinking to be a vp. You are giving Dan Quayle a run for his money.

26. Yep, I can.
I read print versions of the Ft. Worth Star Telegram and the Dallas Morning News. I read electronic versions of a few of the major dailies, such as the NYT and the Washington Post.

I also like to follow the UK biggies.

I really should branch out and start reading English versions of other international papers, though.

Every once in a long while, I read a print version of the WSJ.

That was easy. Can we talk news periodicals? Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report, at the gym. LOL. Too cheap to pay for them.

32. I asked my kids and they said the locals, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and
online news sources. My daughter wondered why Palin couldn't even come up with the Wasilla Times and Observer in a pinch. Or the Wasilla Walrus. Or the Wasilla Wastebin filler. Or whatever her local rag is.

37. Yes, I could name 10 mags/newspapers quickly. Then explain that I read articles on the web from all
sources. At minimum how could Palin not even name her own town's paper! Even if it's a lie say "LA times" or "NY times". Better than looking like a deer in the headlights. Say "Wall street journal". ANYTHING!

41. I'm a college student, so I can't afford magazines
However, I do read two regional newspapers (Des Moines Register and Iowa City Press-Citizen) and the college paper (Daily Iowan). I actually don't read "all of them that were put in front of me;" I think USA Today is poor writing and the New York Times is too dry.

When I can buy magazines, I buy Discover, Popular Science, Scientific American, and National Geographic. (I'm a scientist in training.) I will read Newsweek, Time, US News, and Utne if I can find them (and can afford them).

47. I regularly read the Idaho Statesman and the Minneapolis StarTribune -
when I first moved to Boise, I missed the Strib so much I had it mailed here.

I read a handful of "women's" magazines (Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Redbook), some entertainment mags (People, US Weekly), general interest (Reader's Digest, National Geographic), and some news mags (Time, Newsweek). I still remember all of the magazines my parents subscribed to when I was growing up, and I always read them after Dad was done with them (Reader's Digest, NatGeo, US News & World Report, Consumer Reports, and National Geographics' World, ordered for us kids). I occasionally read Prevention, Shape, and Self (usually at the gym), and I often buy cooking magazines (Taste Of Home, Bon Appetit, Cooking Light) and home magazines (Better Homes & Gardens, Martha Stewart). I've read small local town newspapers - the weeklies. I regularly read the Milwauke Journal-Sentinel when I lived in Wisconsin. Sometimes I read the New York Times, but I have to confess it's because I want to do the crossword. Which, of course, brings me to another magazine: Dell Official Crossword Puzzles (does that count? ;)).

Needlepoint Now, Needlepointer and Needle Arts.

And for news, Google News online.

The local rag, the Tallahassee Democrap, is not worth the time it takes to open the pages, but I do have Tallahassee as a section on Google News. Often, the best coverage for local events other than football is from newspapers out of town or online articles on the local TV channels' web sites.

Edited to add news sources.

You know, all of them!
