There are other sources within Research Tools such as Newsbank with a list of popular magazines not included within any of Gale databases and depending upon the type of popular magazine needed Newsbank is worth looking at. The Publication search is also good at finding EIU Country Reports or Fodor's travel guides based on cities or regions.
