3. The Economist. "This magazine features the most succinct, globe-encompassing wrap-ups of politics and economics on the market."
6. The New Yorker. "With Seymour Hersh's series of revelations about the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, the New Yorker demonstrates yet again how a weekly magazine can still beat the pants off the 24-hour press. And with the presidential election season upon us, look to this book for insight and access into the process and players."
13. Reason. "In an era of smash-mouth, left vs. right political discourse, the libertarian Reason is a fresh and nuanced antidote, with a frequent a-plague-on-both-their-houses approach."
17. The Atlantic Monthly. "With a knack for coming up with cover stories that always seem a step ahead of the Next Big Thing in news, this magazine continues at the top of its game."
18. National Review. "This right-wing glossy offers smart, certain ideology for these uncertain times."
39. National Journal. "Insights from the only magazine that treats federal bureaucrats like the megawatt stars they are in their own minds can be more useful than you'd expect."
