Wikipedia
dablinkThis article is about the magazine as a published medium. For other meanings, see magazine (disambiguation) A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising and/or purchase by readers.Magazines are typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with a periodical cover datedate on the cover that is in advance of the date it is actually published. They are often printed in color on coated paper, and are bound with a bookbindingsoft cover.Magazines fall into two broad categories: consumer magazines and business magazines. In practice, magazines are a subset of :Category:serials, periodicals and journalsperiodicals, distinct from those periodicals produced by scientific, artistic, academic or special interest publishers which are subscription-only, more expensive, narrowly limited in circulation, and often have little or no advertising.Consumer magazines are aimed at the public and are usually available through retail outlets. They range from general-interest titles such as ''Time (magazine)Time'', ''Esquire (magazine)Esquire'' and ''Cosmopolitan'', which appeal to a broad spectrum of readers, to highly specialist titles covering particular hobbies, leisure pursuits or other interests. Among the hundreds or thousands of topics covered by specialist magazines are, for example, computer games, fishing, particular marques of automobile, particular kinds of music, and particular political interests.While most of these magazines are available in the whole of the country in which they are published, some are specific to a local area, and a relatively small number are available internationally - often through localised editions so that, for example, the copy of ''Maxim (magazine)Maxim'' bought in the USA does not contain the exact same articles as the edition on sale in the UK. Some, such as ''TV Guide'' are even tailored for local markets within a country. Most make the bulk of their money from advertising, and earn a smaller amount from the purchase price paid by readers; a few are free.A subset of the consumer magazine is the customer magazine, a publication similar in format and style to a consumer magazine but issued by an organisation such as a club, a retailer or an airline to communicate with its customers. Such magazines are usually free to the reader; the quantity of advertising that they carry varies greatly; and their circulations range from very small to very large - in some countries customer magazines are among the highest-circulation of all magazines.The other broad category of magazine is the business magazine, sometimes called a ''trade magazine'' or ''B2B (business-to-business) magazine''. These publications carry news and other information relevant to a particular profession or industry. Some are sold through retail outlets, and indeed some of the most general such as ''Forbes'' and ''Business Week'' are in many respects similar to the current-affairs-oriented consumer magazines.However, many business magazines are available only, or predominantly, on subscription. In some cases these subscriptions are available to any person prepared to pay; in others, free subscriptions are available to readers who meet a set of criteria established by the publisher. This practice, known as ''controlled circulation'', is intended to guarantee to advertisers that the readership is relevant to their needs. Very often the two models, of paid-for subscriptions and controlled circulation, are mixed. Advertising is also an important source of revenue for business magazines.Although similar to a magazine in some respects, an academic periodical featuring scholarly articles written in a more specialist register is usually called an "academic publishingacademic :Category:serials, periodicals and journalsjournal". Such publications typically carry little or no advertising. '':Category:serials, periodicals and journalsPeriodical'' is the word usually used to describe magazines, journals, newspapers, newsletters, and anything else that is published in regular intervals for an indefinite period of time, but '':Category:serials, periodicals and journalsserial'' is sometimes used, especially in library and information science.Many weekend newspapers incorporate magazine supplements, such as ''Parade MagazineParade'' and ''Life magazineLIFE'' in its Life magazine#LIFE 2004most recent incarnation, both in the USA, and the ''Sunday Times Magazine'' in the UK.''The Gentleman's Magazine'', first published in 1731, is considered to be the first general-interest magazine. The oldest magazine still in print is ''The Scots Magazine'', which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim.The most widely distributed magazine in the world is ''The WatchtowerThe Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom'' (founded in 1879). Its worldwide circulation including all editions comprises 26.5 million copies. wiktionaryparmagazine
