News magazines often provide more in-depth political, cultural, and social analysis than newspapers. Most news magazines are published weekly, some monthly. News magazines are good sources for coverage of current events before those topics are covered in peer-reviewed sources. It's important to remember that while news magazines - and newspapers - are excellent primary sources, and are often authoritative, they are not peer-reviewed.
