Summary: The new SN disappoints
Comment: I've subscribed for many years, and am very disappointed by the recent changes made to this venerable magazine. It's now published only every two weeks, is dumbed down and glossed up, and presents roughly only half the information it provided in its earlier life. Many articles are truncated, and readers urged to go to the website for the rest of the piece while huge graphics take up valuable space.
I am at a loss as to why these changes have been made, and what sort of modern publisher can think these are improvements. Why would faithful subscribers want less information? My theory is that the responsible parties got into a tizzy about how to integrate the magazine with the internet, and fell for some half-baked notions about marketability in this new digital age.
Don't bother subscribing unless you are in a hurry, have a short attention span, prefer pictures over words, and don't mind having to check two sources to get the whole story. SN used to be the best show in town for pithy, frugal and smart science news. Now it is no better than any of its competitors out there, with many websites doing the same job for free.

Summary: Monitor Science Breakthroughs and Science News Each Week
Comment: This magazine provides an excellent survey and monitor of scientific news and scientific breakthroughs and changes to prior scientific understanding or hypotheses. I enjoy reading the science coverage it provides - multiple fields. It refers readers to more in-depth sources for further reading. If you read this magazine, you will keep up with a variety of scientific fields like physics, biology, archaeology, medicine, materials, chemistry, etc., etc. - usually whatever is making significant news that week or that is recently published in the scientific journals and literature, but which may have a significant impact on science, gets picked up by Science News and Science News provides a very good summary of the science. The pieces are short, not laden with technical jargon, and are easy to read and well written. The articles are not scientific journal articles. They are news articles. The general reader needs no scientific background. It is like an alert service or monitor. I believe the magazine is excellent. I recommend it to anyone interested in science.

Summary: Rip Off - No magazine yet
Comment: Should have listened to other reviews from this page - it's been over three months and I haven't received an issue. Though I definitely got charged 40 bucks. :(

Summary: Science News
Comment: Science News is a weekly publication which summarizes advances and discoveries in the world of science. The readership is probably limited, since reports have estimated only 5% of the population has an ability to understand basic science. The coverage of the field is excellent, and so is the use of correct American English syntax. [...]

Summary: Very PLeased.
Comment: When I ordered Science Magazine, I was unsure of the content. I knew that I have been increasingly annoyed with the Journalistic Science and Speculative Science that I had been getting from Scientific American for the last few decades. (I had subscribed to Scientific American in 1949 when I was seven years old. And although much was over my head at the time...the Magazines were read and reread as I grew up. I appreciated being challenged...having a non-watered down glimpse of Science...! As I read my Science Magazine, I find much of that original delight return. And once again I loving it.
