In this chapter, we learned more about magazines.
It is the periodical publication containing articles and illustrations; typically covering a particular subject or area of interest. Magazines were the favourite medium of the British elite by the mid-1700’s and two prominent colonial printers hoped to duplicate that success in the New World.
Magazines – also known as periodicals, serials, glossies, slicks – are publications that appear on a regular schedule and contain a variety of articles. They are financed by advertising, a purchase price, pre-paid subscriptions or sometimes all three of these means. The English word magazine recalls a military storehouse of war materiel and originally was derived from the Arabic word “makhazin” meaning "storehouses." The term magazine was coined for this use by Edward Cave, editor of The Gentleman's Magazine.
The modern era of magazines can be divided into two parts, each characterized by a different relationship between medium and audience. Magazines were the perfect outlet because they were read by a large, national audience. As a result, circulation – rather than reputation, as had been the case before – became the most important factor in setting advertising rates. What these magazines all had in common was the size and breadth of readership. They were mass market, mass circulation publications, both national and affordable. As such, magazines helped unify the nation. They were the television of their time – the dominant advertising medium, the primary source for nationally distributed news, and the preeminent provider of visual, or photo, journalism.
Magazines sell themselves to potential advertisers based not only on the number and demographic desirability of their readers, but on readers’ engagement with and affinity for magazine advertising. The scope and structure of the magazine industry include (1) Trade, professional, and business magazines - carry stories, features, ads aimed at people in specific professions. (2) Industrial, company and sponsored magazines - produced by companies specifically for their own employees, customers, and stockholders, or by clubs and associations specifically for their members. And (3) Consumer magazines - sold by subscription and at newsstands, bookstores, and other retail outlets, including supermarkets, garden shops, and computer stores.
An online magazine is a magazine published on the Internet, through bulletin board systems and other forms of public computer networks.
Advertorials are advetisements that appear in magazines and take on the appearance of genuine editorial content. The industry considers them not only financially necessary in an increasingly competitive media market but proper as well.
