Average Rating: 
Rating: - a reader's digest for the liberal set
UR consistently packs their pages with quality and diverse material.
Their feature subjects are covered comprehensively and from several viewpoints. Other articles might not receive such thorough treatment, but still provide much food for thought. Every issue is a opportunity to learn something new.
Rating: - My favorite magazine, or at least close to it
I've been a subscriber of UR for about 12 years - most of the time since the mag. has been in print. As someone said, it's sort of a 'Reader's Digest for liberals', or possibly another good tag is UR's own subtitle 'the best of the alternative press'. But that still doesn't completely describe UR. Yes, it has a lot of articles culled from all kinds of other magazines, big and small, but it also has good original feature articles. Every issue (every two months) has a 'centerpiece' of a particular topic with several articles on that topic. There are also always interesting articles on all kinds of things, which was led me to read about things that I probably wouldn't have otherwise (Atlantic Monthly has done the same thing for me many times, but I only have so much time to read!). I'd highly recommend Utne Reader to intelligent, literate people who want to read news and articles on all kinds of things - political, environmental, social, economic, entertainment (the list goes on). Unlike a lot of media, UR doesn't have an American-only viewpoint, either. It's also fun. While many articles are on some serious topic, many are more fun, too, such as jump-starting your creativity, places to travel, etc. Believe me, there is so much in every thick issue that you wouldn't want this magazine to come out every month. Check out an issue!
Rating: - Give your brain an electric shock
I found Utne Reader while browsing the periodical racks of my favorite local bookstore (put yourself in the picture... wood floors, magazines as far as the eye can see, generally categorized, and the wafting aroma of fresh ground coffee). I was looking for something different -- maybe a collection of undiscovered short story writers -- maybe a different view of world events -- perhaps a fresh look at Mad magazine?
What I found was Utne Reader -- I'm also a fan of Brill's Content (or was a fan... are they out of business now? I'll have to check after I write this review), and I found Utne Reader placed next to BC. It immediately grabbed my attention -- the magazine usually centers on a differently monthly theme, and pulls the best writing from a variety of sources (magazines, newspapers, websites) on a monthly basis -- what I'm always left with is a bunch of questions and an interest in learning even more -- I fold back pages, write notes in the margins, an!d eventually spend a good deal of time on the internet satisfying my curiosity.
If you want to get a monthly crash course in what's important and who's effecting change, you can't go wrong with Utne Reader.
Take my word for it.
