Welcome to THE NEW GOON We're talking periodicals ITT bitch. New issues, new journals, new ownership, editorial shakeups, subscription deals, strong essays - the whole works. I'll kick things off with some of my recommendations. n+1 n+1 produces three issues a year, packed with literary reviews, political essays, original fiction & poetry, and new translations.   Highlights quote:
The London Review of Books This dense broadsheet biweekly covers a range of literary and political topics in each issue, offering critiques of austerity alongside reviews of museum exhibitions. Its UK base makes EU issues especially pertinent, and accordingly, it's published some of the strongest works debating the EU's form and function.  Highlights quote:
Monthly Review The Monthly Review covers critical political questions from a Marxist perspective, and has since 1949. As the name suggests, it arrives once each month. John Bellamy Foster, an ecologist and Marxist, is the Editor in Chief.  Highlights quote:
The New Left Review Founded in 1960, this left wing journal offers deep analysis of international relations and global radical politics.  Highlights
quote:THE AMERICAN PROSPECT A sober liberal quarterly with a New Deal-style pro-labor ideology. Typical issues feature extensive policy prescriptions and political strategies for effecting progressive change. Mostly run by the troika of Robert Kuttner, Paul Starr, and Harold Meyerson. This is a liberal publication and accordingly clings to some ghastly Cold War verities. Nevertheless, it offers thoughtful policy and political analysis as well as harsh critiques of Democratic governance without hesitation.  Highlights quote:The New York Review of Books To quote Esquire, “the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language.” It’s a fortnightly covering an astonishingly broad swathe of intellectual pursuits. It comes as a broadsheet with very few pictures, pages dense with text, built around book reviews but featuring long, demanding essays on a variety of issues as well. It’s been around since 1963. Less radical than its London-based counterpart, the NYRB is nonetheless a critical read with a number of landmark essays to its name.  Highlights quote:
Viewpoint Magazine All online at present, Viewpoint began as an anti-imperialist, hard left alternative to certain social democratic rags I could name but won't.  Highlights quote:
Angry I left your favorite publication out of the OP? :post: about it dummy! I'm limited to reading English, alas, so please contribute knowledge about the journals in your language. In addition, I'm based in New York so miss out on some of the excellent regional-focused writing in the US (Scalawag & The Oxford American in the South, Alaska Quarterly, California Sunday, and Hot Metal Bridge come to mind).

Ranger Rick Ranger Rick covers critical wildlife questions from a post-New Deal era ecological perspective and began publishing in 1967. While not officially affiliated with the National Parks Service, or even the Department of the Interior in general, it is published by the National Wildlife Federation, which advocates for a conservative approach to the environment (but not in the sense that you think). Its current Editorial Director is Mary Dalheim, who has a LinkedIn profile to which I am a third-degree connection.  Highlights quote:Crusty Crayfish by Kathy Kranking - It looks like a lobster, but it’s not a lobster. And it has fish in its name, but it’s not a fish, either. unbutthurtable has issued a correction as of 04:31 on Jun 8, 2018 |

CBRNe World CBRNe World CBRNe MAGAZINE serves the information needs of professionals around the world charged with planning for or responding to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosives (CBRNe) threat or incident. Spanning the divide of operational and scientific, it brings together opinion formers from the world of civil response, military leaders, academia, government agencies, research labs and industry.  Highlights quote:"The drugs don't work" by Christina Baxter. This article focuses on protective equipment to wear while responding to overdose incidents involving synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. At the least, nitrile gloves are recommended unless dealing with uncut fentanyl, when a particle tight ensemble is advisable.

求是杂志 (Qiushi Journal) The Communist Party of China's official theoretical quarterly, with selected articles translated in English. "By selecting and translating important articles from the Chinese edition of Qiushi Journal and its affiliated publication Red Flag Manuscript, and abstracts of theoretical articles from other important Chinese periodicals, the English edition of Qiushi Journal aims to promote the CPC and Chinese exchanges with foreign political parties and countries, and function as a platform for authoritative interpretations of the principles and strategies with which the CPC and the Chinese government run the country, as a top communication channel for publicizing China’s development theory, path and model and as an important window for political and academic circles and the people of foreign countries to learn about and study Chinese affairs." "Qiushi Journal has a legion of eminent authors who mainly come from government departments and academia. About 60 percent of the articles are written by the Party and state leaders and senior officials at the ministerial or provincial level. Famous scholars and research fellows with China’s think tanks and academic institutions are also among the contributors." If you want a straight shot of that sweet, sweet CPC-style syntax, this is the magazine for you. Highlights quote:Democratic Centralism: The Core Mechanism in China’s Political System

Gunshow Poophole posted:the American Prospect i've genrally found to be... too earnest? it just comes off as broad concepts tha tI could read in any given tweet, multipleiud by a word requirement I think it's a fair assessment. They always have some filler mixed in with the more vigorous reporting / analysis. I enjoy their earnestness though, it's refreshing that they don't pretend to be more radical than they are the Spring 2015 issue on Inequality was a treasure. they also regularly publish Rachel M. Cohen, who I think does excellent education reporting.

I have the internet and c-spam for that. not a knock against em, just a preferred stylistic miss their piece on public housing in Austria this spring stuck with me

Shear Modulus said in Le Zone du Suqq that I should have included League of Men in my n+1 highlights and it is, in fact, a stunning essay on the lupine, sinister rituals of male bonding. Also from that issue, Democracy without the People ~ the excellent Thea Riofrancos calls for a left populism to counter technocratic liberalism and beat back conservatism. The subtitle, "Left populism vs. insipid pluralism," is instructive. Ghost in the Cloud ~ Meghan O'Gieblyn, a former Evangelical Christian, demonstrates the parallels between early Christian theological debates and the supposedly secular debates among "transhumanists." Whole issue is flames, pick it up from the lib if you can. Ditto for Issue 24.

I let my subscription lapse and don't regret it. It's beautifully designed, I have to say, but the writing quality is uneven. The issue on urban policy - Paint the Town Red - was quite good. If you do decide to sub, wait for Bastille Day since they usually have a $17.89 deal for the whole year.
