I wish there were less advertisements. I can't stand buying a magazine and having over 1/2 the pages be advertisements. We already pay these companies when we purchase from them, why should we have to pay for their advertisement as well? I agree w/ Elizabeth's comment as well.
I love magazines and subscribe to several. I don't always have time to read them all, but I try to read them cover to cover. I usually read them in bed at night. I can't imagine a world without physical magazines and newspapers. We have an e-reader, but I wouldn't use it for periodicals.
I love a self-help and/or positive story, a good recipe, decorating, crafts... I subscribe to GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, OPRAH, REAL SIMPLE, FAMILY CIRCLE, WOMAN'S DAY, etc. Magazines make me feel like home, or the home I want. It makes me feel part of the larger picture, like we're one big family. I even like the advertisements as it keeps me updated. They let me know what's out there. Their a welcomed friend coming to visit every month.
I especially like decorating and crafts articles, although I like to keep up with what the rest of the female population thinks and feels about politics, the environment, spiritulaity and other important matters. I'm 65 years old and find a lot of times that the magazines seem to think there is no woman older than in her 50s who reads. I may have to use glasses, but I love to read!
I don't mind ads, but I cannot stand all the smelly perfume samples, and I REALLY can't stand all the postcards that fall out to get me to subscribe, especially because I ALREADY DO!
I would like the magazines to put the recipes on a card so you can save it instead of saving pages and pages and end up getting tossed in the trash.
