News and Opinion Magazines
What are their viewpoints?
Magazines that report and comment on current events and trends in society, do so from a variety of points of view.
In order to be aware of these many views, you may want to read magazines that cover moderate, conservative, and liberal
viewpoints. You may also want to consider counterculture viewpoints as well as those of different religions
and countries. The magazines listed here have been categorized by their predominant viewpoints. Those marked wcc
are available in WCC's print magazine collection, and those marked res.dat., are available full text in WCC's
research databases. Those titles not marked are available in both formats. For assistance in using the
research databases, ask a reference librarian.
