Undeniably, the best way to expand vocabulary and knowledge is by reading. We can\u2019t rely on the conversations we have and we can\u2019t rely on vocabulary word lists. So if you are looking to boost your verbal score, don\u2019t just use practice problems. Expand your practice and studying to high quality news articles from trusted news sources.<\/p>\n

But what is a high-quality, trusted news source?<\/p>\n

A fair question indeed! Our lives are suffused with text and media. Wading through this mess and finding quality content is not easy. We yearn for a trusted friend to recommend something to read because we know that it will at least rise above a threshold of quality.<\/p>\n

What follows is a collection of writers that Magooshers like to read. These authors, journalists, and columnists write for distinguished news outlets and consistently write quality articles.<\/p>\n

Before we dive into the authors, remember that it is not just what you read that matters. It is how you read as well. Cultivate an active reading style<\/a> as you read on a daily basis. Don\u2019t passively take in the information; constantly seek meaning as you read.<\/p>\n
