Hi. I’m TV and radio personality Patricia Lopez.
Reader’s Digest magazine has been a fixture on coffee tables for decades and yes, it’s still around and it’s still relevant, even winning the National Magazine Award for general excellence a few years ago, one of the top awards in the magazine industry.
If you think it’s too wholesome or conservative, I’m here to tell you to look beyond these stereotypes. Reader’s Digest is full of stories you can’t find anywhere else in one place, like profiles on average citizens that risk their lives to save others or people overcoming extreme obstacles to reach an honorable dream. It’s a great change of pace from the standard pop-culture and celebrity news and you’ll get to read about real people who are everyday heroes.
Another reason to love Reader’s Digest is the content isn’t always serious. There are lighthearted quotes, comics and anecdotes sprinkled throughout the magazine that remind me us to laugh. Not to mention the frequent upbeat cover stories like The World’s Dumbest Criminals, Celebrities, Lawsuits and more. It may sound nerdy, but the Word Power quiz is also pretty entertaining. It’s a simple thing but so much fun. Where else would learn the definition of the noun trug? (FYI - It’s a shallow basket, in case you were wondering.)
It’s also a true digest and the advice is practical, not sensational. There are no overwhelming lists like "30 ways to cook healthy" or "20 ways to lose 10 pounds" here. This magazine has plenty of advice and tips, like insurance polices you don’t need, or secrets of emergency rooms.
If a Reader’s Digest subscription sounds like the type of publication you’re looking for then be sure to check out the great subscription deals at Magazines.com. And don’t hesitate to call 1-800-MAGAZINES with any questions you might have. Thanks for stopping by the site!

The first issue of Reader's Digest was published in 1922 by a World War I veteran and his wife. In 1929, it was first put on newsstands and in August of 2005 published the 1000th U.S. issue. A typical edition consists of a survival story, a medical article, an achievement story, stories on human relations, several articles offering advice and a politically focused article. Reader's Digest tends to present a conservative, pro-American
view. Also standard in each issue are comics, jokes, and puzzles. The richness and diversity of the Reader's Digest Magazine makes it one of America's great general interest publications. Reader's Digest is also available in a large print edition.
