The 51 Best Magazines Ever
GOOD Magazine has published its list of the 51 Best Magazines Ever. Rather than focusing only on magazines today, not only does it highlight now-defunct magazines, it also pinpoints a few eras of certain magazines. Esquire, for instance, doesn’t make the list in its current incarnation, but rather the version of it from 1961–1973.
I have few a disagreements. I’ve been so impressed with how well Wired has incorporated its print magazine into its web content, so I wouldn’t cut it off at 1998. Why the hell isn’t Harper’s on the list? Its index alone should get it on there. And what about The Economist? It’s known in many circles as one of the most objective publications out there.
The feature also includes a brief history of the magazine industry.
