EETimes has been my historical favorite.  There used to be a third  
("Electronics Design"?  Separate from EDN), but it seems to have  
ended up consolidated into something else?  Then there are a whole  
slew of more specialized publications like "Elecronics Manufacturing  
News", "PCB Design Magazine", "Portable Design", "Embedded Systems  
Design", "Photonics Spectra" (and I haven't much touched on the IT- 
oriented mags.)   You can be turning away offers and/or decimating  
forests in no time.

These are all advertising-funded things, so the amount of useful  
content can vary quite a bit.  There are some situations where the  
advertisements themselves are useful, and others where they are not...

The biggest players seem to be Reed and CMP:
