Red Herring Magazine

Pros: Intellectual; Up to date; Good use of statistics
Cons: Each issue is short; Some readers won't relate to or understand every article

Business magazines are a common item in my house and on my desk at work. I like to thumb through the pages of different business magazines both to read current events and to get new ideas. One magazine I have been receiving and reading for more than a ...

Pros: A magazine that takes on biz icons...
Cons: ...with a limited audience and tech knowledge a must for readers.

The editorial staff at Red Herring magazine wants you to know that they never intended to be Business Week for Geeks or any other “new economy” publication. Instead, the magazine that celebrated its tenth anniversary in April was founded...

Pros: Insightful articles which help you make your investment decisions.
Cons: With the advent of the Internet all business magazines have become obsolete.

First of all, I must say that Red Herring has a wonderful site on the Internet for investors and traders. I have been using it for over a year and cannot think of anything bad to say about it. But so far as Red Herring magazine is concerned, most of...

Pros: Stock tracking and marketing
Cons: Not enough in-depth analysis

Red Herring has lots of glossy advertisements and many of the articles spin a lot of hype. This seems to compromise the credibility of the magazine. In this sense, it's a lot like network or cable television news, blowing smoke and applying lots of...

Pros: Dot com drop has led mag into crapola
Cons: Still not cheap. Solid biz mags like Forbes have picked up tech smarts

I have subscribed to this magazine for 4 years now and have started to become more and more disappointed with every issue. It is supposed to be a technology magazine but from a business frame of view, it has increasingly become an investment magazine...

Pros: Depth and writing quality
Cons: A bit expensive off the shelf - subscriptions are good

Red Herring is a great read for people who have an interest in what's driving the new economy - technological advances. What separates Red Herring from other similar magazines is the depth of the feature articles each month. Whether you're interested in...

Pros: a hodge podge of meaty tech articles, stats figures and charts are great
Cons: some articles lack meat/insight

And the winner is....Red Herring! Woohoo!

Red Herring tops all other business/tech magazines in its class --Industry Standard, Fast Company, Silicon Valley Reporter, etc.-- by combining a slew of tech articles (written by those at the...

Pros: strong features, in-depth business profiles and financial advice, solid writing
Cons: none, except it can be hard to find if you are not a subscriber

Always one of the hardest business and technology mags to track down in the bookstore as copies seem to vanish off the stands. Knowing how hard I hunt for it every month, my housemates got me a subscription for Christmas.

Red Herring leads...

Pros: Good content
Cons: Confusing presentation and organization

Red Herring has a lot to say about start-ups, trends, new companies and products, but it has no solid organization that runs across its issues. I have a hard time finding the articles that interest me. There is definitely a lot of material and the...

Pros: Great coverage of SV business
Cons: none

I have been a Red Herring Subscriber for nearly 3 years and I love it. Why, well it has been consistently the best source of information on the high tech economy, (the only one that really matters) and the in depth section they do each month on a...

Pros: A Little bit of everything..Internet, nice format...high tech reporting...gossips...Like enjoying some capucino...
Cons: I don't have much to say here...

This is one of the magazines every body who wants to be on top of the current technology and information revolution should subscribe to. Red Herring tackles a wide range of topics. Its writers and reporters are doing a good job reporting on topics such...

Pros: LOTS of information about the buzz
Cons: gossipy, shallow

Red Herring is a namedropper. They flaunt the notion that the information they get and publish is gathered through gossip, rumors, or while drinking decafe skim cappuccino at Bucks in Woodside. The domains covered are Internet, technology, networking,...

Pros: Covers the top up-and-comers, good coverage of IPO stocks
Cons: Not very sophisticated, articles often lack insight

The latest prices of Red Herring are $24.50 for 12 issues, not the stated $34.50. This magazine is targeted towards Venture Capitalists and people interested in Venture Capital (either as a career, or seeking funding from them) As someone in the...
