WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT US:
"Arguably the best magazine published today... Every other month, the editors at UTNE READER sort through about 1,000 publications to bring together a feast of challenging articles...some of the finest journalism in the land."
- USA Today
HOW DO YOU
SAY IT?
Utne rhymes
with chutney
and means
"far out"
in Norwegian.

"...a lively and hip Reader's Digest."
- Playboy
"Utne reader has gained a foothold in the public's consciousness... the baby boomers and the students, the old idealists and the young idealists."
- InsideMedia
"With so much to read, how do you sift the good from the goofy?
Well, 15 magazine junkies say they can do it for you. They page through mountains of periodicals to seek trends and stories the mainstream media missed or ignored. They then whittle reams of articles down to the most intriguing handful, which they reprint in the UTNE READER."
- The Wall Street Journal
"Just plain cool stuff."
- University of Delaware Review
