I am lazy with reading magazines, but here goes.

For my daily news and cool I have my RSS feed, friends, and 
facebook/twitter. I am lazy on watching them, but I see enough.

For security news, I get the raw data rather than any publication. I 
often miss stuff outside of my interest fields and hear about them from 
  friends, facebook, twitter, or not at all.

My favorite publications are:

- The Economist (weekly) -- it gives a neutral to left-wing view of news 
from the whole world in 80 pages or less. While it used to be better, it 
gives a perspective on world and business matters which are beyond who 
did what. Business, international law and historical perspective all 
over the place.

- New Yorker (weekly) -- started reading it this week, and I am very 
pleased with the fun style, serious research and well-balanced thinking.

- Wired (monthly) -- Fun. Geek. Good stories on the world around us to 
enrich us beyond just the news. From the story behind trying to make the 
iphone happen to the business behind Marvel comic book movies.

- Blazer (monthly) -- Israeli Maxim-type publication I nearly never get to.

I make a good effort to read the Economist, but it comes and goes in 
cycles. I always enjoy reading the rest but don't get to them as often 
as I'd like. My reading time is limited and my Internet access and 1000 
unread books keep me busy enough.

Radio:
When in the States I like listening to NPR on the road.

TV:
BBC and similar are almost as biased as Fox News in my opinion, only to 
the left. With much greater ethos to carry the b/s.

It is unfortunate that left-wing news sources are as a rule of thumb 
better than right-wing ones, but not by much. Fox News is just Really 
That Bad.

What are yours?

        Gadi.
