Utne Reader (also known as Utne; /ˈʌtni/, UT-nee) is a digital digest that collects and reprints articles on politics, culture, and the environment, generally from alternative media sources including journals, newsletters, weeklies, zines, music, and DVDs.
The magazine's writers and editors contribute book, film, and music reviews and original articles that tend to focus on emerging cultural trends. The magazine's website produces ten blogs covering politics, environment, media, spirituality, science and technology, great writing, and the arts. The publication takes its name from founder Eric Utne.[1] Eric Utne's surname is ultimately derived from the Norwegian village of Utne, which loosely translates as "far out".[2]
