I'm in the UK, and I subscribe to two weekly publications: Private Eye and MCN.

Private Eye is a hardcore investigative-journalism outlet, arguably unique in the country. It's very info-dense (despite dedicating roughly half the space to humorous content), so reading it online would be too hard for me. Tbh i don't even know if they have an online version (they do have an occasional podcast, "Page 94").

MCN is a weekly tabloid about motorbikes. I just like to read it while I have breakfast, with the brain only half-awake. The "ooh shiny" ogling of new bikes benefits from larger-size pictures. It has a digital equivalent (which I also pay for) but I go there only when I want to keep something for the long run (trip suggestions etc). It is occasionally too full of barely-misguided ads, but that's par for the course in what is effectively a small and expensive hobby niche.



Private Eye is also responsible for the Arkell v. Pressdram letters.

Private Eye don’t do a digital version unfortunately. I also have a subscription, but living in the EU, the customs charges often come to more than the price of the magazine (when they are imposed, which seems to be more or less at random).
