The Wardrove Story
Magazine Cover
General interest regular periodical (typically a monthly)
covering several
topics by short
articles (typically about 3-pages long) by in-house and external
authors, carrying black and white and
color advertisements and
graphics, and printed usually on glossy paper.
Printed collection of texts (essays, articles, stories, poems), often
illustrated, that is produced at regular intervals. Modern magazines
have roots in early printed pamphlets, broadsides, chapbooks, and
almanacs. One of the first magazines was the German
Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen (Edifying Monthly Discussions), issued from 1663 to 1668. In the early 18th century
Joseph Addison and
Richard Steele brought out the influential periodicals
The Tatler and
The Spectator;
other critical reviews began in the mid 1700s. By the 19th century,
magazines catering to specialized audiences had developed, including the
women's weekly, the religious and missionary review, and the
illustrated magazine. One of the greatest benefits to magazine
publishing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the addition of
advertisements as a means of financial support. Subsequent developments
included more illustrations and vastly greater specialization. With the
computer age, magazines (e-zines) also became available over the
Internet.
