What do you think about the 'Readers' Digest Magazine'?

Question

Do you think that the quality of the articles in the magazine is decreasing over the years?

Answer 1

Yeah it kinda seems as such. The last few I've gotten I was really disappointed.

Answer 2

Absolutely! Just go back 10 years and look at the titles of stories/articles in the magazine. Go back 30 years, and you can read some quality articles.

However, this may be due to the lack of readers/subscribers interest in real journalism. Many individuals are only interested in sensational stories and tabloid journalism. Just look at the popularity of websites like TMZ and the popularity of print publications like the National Enquirer.

Answer 3

Yes, and I notice that it has a lot more advertising than it used to have. Advertisers, however, want to put their money where it will do the most good, so the magazine has to produce quality articles to attract quality advertisers.

Answer 4

It appeared so for a while, but I think it's become interesting again. I like all the inspirational stories because they're true stories. And all the quips and anecdotes and health care tips and advancements in medicine. And NO naked girls! (It's beginning to look like every magazine has to have a half-naked girl on the cover to sell, whether they're relevant or not)

Answer 5

Not to much,I mean some things do seem dull,although some articles are OK,their not really the best though.

Answer 6

I still love the little stories at the bottom of some of the pages!

Answer 7

I haven't seen much of them.I don't suscribe to them.In my oppinion ,Yes the articles have become less interesting.

Answer 8

We use to get it until it got so expensive. Now if I want to read it I go down to the
bookcase in the back lobby and if there is one there, I grab it and read it.

Answer 9

its ok. we have loads of copies from the 60s in the shed...and im talkin, LOADs of copies
