Is there an offline version? I have a sudden urge to experiment with replacing all the news sources and journals that I regularly browse online with a single, finite, regular, curated issue. I imagine this would prevent me from going down pointless rabbit holes, would free my mind from the shackles of checking news at every break in whatever I'm doing, and make it easier to resist the hell of refreshing.

I miss paper magazines. Turns out, they still sell them! I usually only encounter them while waiting around at airports, to have something to read while I'm offline during the flight. Maybe I should get a subscription or two...

  They happen to be substantially cheaper than most web and streaming services!

I'm a subscriber and it's quite underwhelming unfortunately. I will cancel it. There are some nice articles in it, but most of it is very "basic".

I read a magazine on a plane recently and with every article I was struck by the impulse to "read the comments" when I was through.

Guardian Weekly or The Week are good periodicals

I realized some time ago that weekly, biweekly, or semiweekly publications were likely the best way to consume the news, in order to dissociate the signal from the noise. Unfortunately, there seems to be a dearth of publications that provide this. Even reading the weekend editions of various papers, there's a focus on providing the latest information over contextualizing current events within a broader timeslice than a few days at a time.

Just use the pdf versions of the newspapers/magazines of your choice.
