1-2 and 1-4 are fine, but I wouldn't say 1-1 or 1-3. 2-1 and 2-2 are redundant because "digest" and "magazine" both refer to a type of publication. It's like saying "the woman female" or "the skyscraper building" or "the vehicle truck".

- 2-3 and 2-4 are fine, although (and I haven't looked this up) if the formal title of the publication is The Reader's Digest , then 2-3 is the only "really" correct one!
- On these, I am not aware of any rule.
