Magazines

I used to be an avid reader of Practical Electronics back in my youth but stopped reading when I realised that the projects were just repeating again and again.

 

Do people still read electronics magazines? Are they still relavent?

    I have back issues in the loft for everyday, elector and practical from years ago.  when they had projects for add ons for your ZX spectrum!

    I then had circuit cellar and MagPi for a while too.  But now go to WHsmith and have a browse and pick one up if I see something that grabs my attention.

     

    I also have a stash of mini magazines and in them you see the same articles cropping up so I stopped them as well and just get one when it grabs my attention.  The free calendar in miniworld was an utter disappointment this year as only one month had minis  each month was a different advert for a different magazine by the publisher.

     

    Nearly all of my reading now is on line , or I watch youtube, which has better content than the tv most of the time...
