Should I mention a magazine article written about my research in my CV? How does getting into non-submission based magazines appear?  For instance, if R&amp;D magazine took an article about my work (NOT an actual research paper) and published it in their magazine, would this be something I would want to mention on my CV/résumé or would I even bother listing it at all?
I saw some researcher having "media coverage" or "general impact" columns in their CVs, see e.g. this example.

Other way to go (which I do) is to append to the respective publications "featured by [The Economist/Technology Review/2014 Highlights of [this journal]/John Smith's blog]".

IMHO as long you are not overdoing it, it should be a plus.
