    I was looking for news about Sonoma West Medical Center and this newspaper came up on the search…read morefeed, similar names. I read the one review of this paper here on Yelp the (one that was not recommended--couldn't help myself) and then continued looking up info about Sonoma West Medical Center as the two are apparently not related entities. I did read articles on the same billing issue about the laboratory in both the Sonoma West Times and The Press Democrat. I have to agree with the previous review of the Times--the writing is so-so, more a community newsletter in all ways except for the article about the medical center's laboratory. There it really does show a lack of professional journalism. The PD was factual but not accusing and actually quoted people involved, the Times was full of accusations but not substantiated, not professionally written with a neutral bias as all newspapers are supposed to try to attain. I'd recommend the Sonoma West Times for community event info based on some of the articles in the paper, definitely not a good source of news though. I know that a paper is not responsible for the comments that are written by readers, but, wow, some of the comments were not appropriate and way too political.

    The newspaper does not check it's sources before printing materials that could be damaging or…read morehurtful to local businesses and individuals. Recently it published a headline story about a local tiny hospital that stated the hospital was part of an insurance fraud scheme with absolutely nothing cited indicating the newspaper had obtained any information from either the hospital or the insurance company. They implied that a court case was pending though there was no such thing. The Sonoma West Times also tends to cater towards a small group of wealthy individuals, vocal and ruthless in their intent on closing this district hospital that serves the area's poor and homeless. These individuals post items in the newspaper's opinion pages or blogs that are so incredible as to make one wonder if the newspaper actually has an editor. To wit: the newspaper allowed posting of an anonymous letter to the editor urging everyone to come to the hospital's next board meeting--it stated that the board was going to create a new property tax by vote at that meeting! Basic 6th grade social studies teaches that taxes cannot be voted in by a hospital board--or any entity! They must be voted upon by the public and passed with a majority. The editor of the paper knew this but still allowed the post to print. The mob that showed up disrupted the board meeting so badly that it had to be adjourned. The Sonoma West Times states in it's opinion and online blog instructions that no one may knowingly malign nor spread false or malicious information, but the newspaper has never enforced this--they appear to be encouraging the exact opposite by their own actions and articles. This tactic must be selling papers but If it were possible to rate them in negative integers I would. The district hospital was lauded in other newspapers as a hero in the recent Tubbs Lane Wildfire yet they struggle to stay open amidst attack by a newsprint bully. I used to be a faithful reader but now I would not recommend this rag for anything but birdcage liner.

    The content of this magazine is generally of high quality. The articles don't go into sufficient…read moredetail to allow you to emulate the work but generally give pointers and inspiration. The digital distribution has offered good service for well over a decade and throughout my subscription of 76 magazines. This year however notifications of new issues were not sent and now I can not download two issues as a result of a change in service. This will create a gap in my library and with this my subscription will end. Why would you chose to reduce service to such an extent that loyal subscribers have no choice other than to cancel ?

    Make is a charming, little DIY nut book that offers all sorts of fascinating articles and how-to…read moreproject details for constructing just about anything. The last issue I got was stuffed with instructions for building your own robots, Geiger counters, blood pressure monitors, transilluminators, brain scanners, hover crafts constructed from old shop vacs, wrist-mounted range finders, LED wearable art heart monitors, Nerf guns, making your own soap, and sewing a cozy kimono plus articles on how to play video games with electrodes in your arm muscles and doing your own kinetic hacks, and kits for making your own little feats of engineering. The magazine is printed on a higher paper stock. It's 176 pages long with very few ads compared with other publications. The writing quality edges more on technical. At $14.99, this is the periodical I read on a semi-regular basis with the steepest cover price. I was fortunate enough to grab a $10 year-long subscription (four issues) at last year's Bay Area Maker Faire. And speaking of the Maker Faires, what I love most about Make is that they hold their own big events around the country (totally one-upping the now defunct Wizard, in my opinion). Even now they're hosting one-day science fairs and mini-festivals to try and boost interest - not just in the magazine, but in science, engineering, crafting, and so on. They're providing fuel to your mental fire, igniting new possibilities and ideas.
