What is a magazine?




                  What is a magazine?


A magazine is a publication that is usually sent out to sell periodically, some are hardcopy but some magazines can be published digitally.

The magazine will usually have stories, pictures and information relating to the front image of the magazine or could be generally about films, books, knitting or other different subjects.

Magazines will usually have a masthead that is eye catching to the target audience. Magazines usually have coverlines too which give a little bit more information about what is in the magazine. Puffs or Buzz’s are used to draw the reader in by saying something is ‘free inside’ or something to make a sudden interest for the reader.

The purpose of a magazine is to be interesting to the target audience, by having relevant images and text, this may be a niche or large audience.
