There are very few magazines that I've ever stuck to over the years. This forums is probably the most consistent media I've frequented (perhaps to much frequenting). I guess I just really like the interactive part and WSS provides a lot of what I like to read.
What would be nice are more regular contributions to gear reviews and in depth - article types of posts. I know this is impossible to control, but I really do enjoy sometimes reading the concerted efforts of many of the posters here. Not trying to name everyone but here are a few forumites that have contributed to near full fledged articles that I really enjoyed: Magnussen (firestarting and survival knives), Pict (how to videos, machete & cordage), Doc Canada (edible plants) , Brian Jones (the creative survival uses thread), Evolute (composition thread) and many others.
If each of us tried to emulate the splended efforts above, once or twice a year, we would probably have much the equivalent of a magazien without the politics and sales pitches. Well thats my take on this.
Outdoors magazine that someone linked to earlier also provides timely and good in depth articles.
