rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coartist - This magazine will expose you to new ideas about life that are not typically published in mainstream media.

Thu, 5 Sep 2002 21:08:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - I’m so tired of “sound bite” magazines. Publishers have gone shorter and shorter on articles and bigger and bigger on photos and info boxes. Most magazines read like bumper stickers these days--biggest, best, newest. The headlines look cute at the...

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 23:38:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anecdoter - Tired of run of the mill articles; bored by the seemingly identical articles that proliferate most magazines. Or do you just prefer a diverse and expansive magazine that never delivers the same thing twice.

Compiled from magazines all...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jcgrow - Pre-Internet Dinosaur

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 16:35:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dosite1 - When this magazine first started appearing on news stands in the roaring 80's, I caught myself wondering, "what is an 'utne', and who reads a magazine about utne?" Well eventually, I picked one up, and soon I was a subscriber. Eric...

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 17:49:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chrississippi - First off, I have to admit to having had an Utne Reader subscription for years---every month it was like getting sick on Cheez-its; makes you ache, but you can't stop eating until the box is empty. I secretly enjoyed the breadth of information the mag...

Utne Reader: I Just Adore it

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 21:37:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Raintea - Utne Reader is by far my favorite magazine out there. I race to the store every time a new one comes out. It doesn't matter to me that I have to pay 4.99 per issue, it is so dense (I usually read and enjoy every article) that I feel it is well worth...

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 01:47:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skyrydr - The Utne Reader is by far, one of my favorite things that arrives in the mail. It is a dream of a magazine. It is actually a compilation of articles from other sources. However, the reader is never quite sure what topic of interest you may uncover. The...

Utne Reader: Reader's Digest for the liberal set

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 01:24:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kidnykid - Quite frankly, I enjoy reading UTNE READER precisely because it is a liberal version of READER'S DIGEST.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author broesau71 - I first picked up Utne Reader about 7 years ago and I have been an avid reader ever since. It may have been the topic of the bi-monthly issue that first caught my attention or maybe it was just proper merchandising on the part of the bookseller (you...

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 00:01:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lroberds - I have been reading Utne for years and would highly recommend it as counterpoint to the standard news magazine. I copy the articles and hand them around staff meetings just to keep folks awake to the fact that there are all sorts of viewpoints in this...

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 23:16:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kmennie - Utne Reader used to be a happy magazine, a thing I devotedly read as an idealistic teen-ager. A sort of last bastion of aging hippies who hadn't actually burnt out but were instead still devoted to "the cause," Utne Reader offered...

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 15:15:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tomgray - Utne Reader sits at the top of my magazine reading list. How did it get there? Interesting, offbeat articles that are sometimes extremely insightful and rarely longer than a few pages (images of me grimly slogging through a New York Times...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anavidi - Don't get me wrong Newsweek is a good magazine but like I said in my review of it I do feel that occasionally it does not provide a well rounded perspective on some issues. Now for most people couldn't care less about perspectives, but for you and I who...
