The Revealer is a "daily review of religion & the press" and is a product of NYU's master's program in religion and journalism. Though it has a decidedly liberal slant, and ought to be balanced with Get Religion which is a conservative attempt at correcting religious reporting, it is an informative and entertaining read.
There's often overlap between KTB and The Revealer.

Yes, thanks for the list, and it was great to meet you at the ProgFaithBlogCon. You might be interested in seeing the picture I posted of you here. Enjoy!

I'd add Tikkun (www.tikkun.org) to this list, and perhaps also Lilith (www.lilith.org). Both exist more offline than on, though they archive some content online, and they're both quite terrific.
On an unrelated note, it was really a pleasure to meet you this weekend. Thanks for being part of the blog con.

Oh, I should have noted what this post really is: It's the list of religion magazines that has sat over on the front-page sidebar for ages. I'm going to remove these long lists from the sidebar, turn them into individual posts, and gradually expand and categorize them.
On the sidebar, the list wasn't meant to be exhaustive so much as interesting. (Tikkun, bless its heart, is progressive — but not interesting.) I will be expanding this list eventually.
And thanks to my new friends from the Progressive Faith Blog Conference! What a joy to meet you all!

Last summer Tikkun had the guts to publicly question the ethics of kosher slaughter, although granted, perhaps that type of reporting is not enough to gain it membership into the club of "interesting" religious magazines.
