This article:

addresses how debaters can be well read. Besides reading something like Time (which they recommend), they also suggest some monthly magazines. They state that the World Press Review is a good source for international events and also recommend The Atlantic and Harper's Magazine.
It goes on to recommend familiarizing yourself with social sciences, sociology, psychology, philosophy, world religions, political science, science, technology, liberal arts, humanities, business and economics.
This article:

references a debate coach "whose reading list includes Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, the New York Times, the Oregonian, the Economist, and Congressional Digest."
