Which is a better business magazine? Forbes or Fortune?

I got the below questions:

1. Which magazine is better Forbes or Fortune?

2. Why read both of them?

Here is my observation/ answer:

𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐬- Lesser in Fortune

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬- Fortune has better (charts, graphs, color coding, placement, etc.)

𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬- Length and Breadth of topics covered is better in Forbes

𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬- Forbes highlights individuals in a better way. (Just look at the cover pictures of both the magazines)

𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬- Forbes does it better

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲- The content quality is almost similar in both, but if I want to select one it will be Fortune due to the ease of understanding and more infographics

𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡- Forbes approx. 100 pages, Fortune approx. 115 pages. The special edition can be a thicker version with more pages.

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲- Forbes-Twice in a month, Fortune- Once in a month

𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝- Fortune

You can think of a Venn diagram here, there are few common or intersecting topics. Combining topics from both these magazines will provide a universal picture about: 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦, 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲, 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭, 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

P.S.: I have subscribed to both of them
