The thing about Texas Monthly is that they have become a trusted brand over the years because they are so high quality and they've continued to innovate, which has buttressed against things like reducing page count or print quality. They've got the right mix of human interest, branding, and political stories. Politically, they are definitely to Texas' left of center, but not in an "in your face" sort of way. And their web team is top notch. When I was tasked with redesigning a website a decade ago, my South Carolina based internet publisher chose Texas Monthly's site as one of our sources of inspiration.
- ubermonkey 4y agoWow. I find TM insufferably conservative, and entirely focused on the wrong things most of the time (e.g., Dallas society). They're still publishing, which is something, but I quit reading them regularly a long, long time ago for want of anything interesting between the covers. OTOH, if I want to see full-page ads for $500 belt buckles, I know where to look.
- MisterBastahrd 4y agoI said left of Texas' center. For example, the biggest ticket article today is titled "The Campaign to Sabotage Texas’s Public Schools." That's not a conservative article by any means.
- shiftpgdn 4y agoTexas Monthly is in no way a conservative magazine. Are we reading the same thing?
- korroziya 4y ago>Wow. I find TM insufferably conservative You're probably insufferably liberal to most people.
- miguelazo 4y agoLeft of liberal here and definitely disagree with this statement. While I don't read it that frequently, or get the print edition, I find many of their articles are highly informative and worth sharing. Magazines often have to print ads for ridiculous stuff, that's just how they keep the lights on. Judge them by the content of their articles.
