Do you think reading a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language is a good way to learn the language ?
It's a extremely good *part* of learning a language. But you need to do it alongside other aspects such as listening to the spoken language, interactive spoken practice, and study of grammar as necessary.
How did newspapers and magazines relate to American foreign policy at the end of the 19th century?
Most newspaper owners were committed to American isolationism and ran few stories about distant places. Stories about distant places were popular and encouraged calls for a larger American role in world affairs. Government leaders pressured newspapers to avoid stories about distant places in order to protect plans for military intervention overseas. Few newspapers published stories about distant places, focusing instead on stories about the American West and the closing of the frontier.

What newspapers and magazines should I read to get a good grasp of finance, economics and the state of the corporate world?
The publications you selected are great – they are going to give you an overview of most of the major trends and stories of the day. Another suggestion might be Harvard Business Review or Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which can give you information on the latest trends in management (the quality of those trends beside)What you should consider now is what you want to focus on. If you are interested in technology, adding magazines like Wired would make sense. If you are interested in economics, adding any of the prominent economists blogs would assist you. If you are interested in medicine, adding a journal like JAMA might be of use. For foreign politics, you might consider Foreign Policy or Foreign Affairs. There are literally thousands of publications that cater to different audiences of people, and many of these are must-reads for someone.In the end, nearly every industry has a go-to journal or news source that you should read. The best way to learn what these are is from the practitioners themselves. Ask people in that field what they read, since ultimately what you care about most is understanding the conversation that is happening in that field. Like the other poster said, I would actually cut down the number of general purpose publications to the one you like best since they are quite duplicative, and instead add 2-3 in your area of interest.
