So they basically put some letters closer together when possible. Personally I've noted that Magazines and Papers put a good bit of thought into layout, but I've never found them easier to read. On the contrary, screen fonts are bigger and are easier on the eyes than letters on glossy paper.
The most readable text I've seen is what is output from a common Laser printer, and I do not believe they use 'kerning' fonts.

Yeah, I agree, though I think that has more to do with their dumbed-down slang phrasings than the typography.
8-year-old: "6 divided by 3 is 2."
Time magazine: "Okay, take the number six. You're all familiar with it, yes? It's a half-dozen. Now, imagine it divvied up into little chunklets -- three, specifically -- and each chunklet has the same number that math professor Gregory Beckens at Overinflated Ego University calls a 'quotient'. The so-called 'quotient' in this case? Dos."
