weekly newsmagazines and an occasional newspaper."

If one needs reading material, carrying a newspaper offers multiple uses including extra insulation under legs (for folks using torso pads), wrapping food in, writing on, wadding up to dry shoes, emergency TP, and probably a zillion others that would come to me had I actually ever carried one.
