Magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (669 words) |
 | Magazines are typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with a date on the cover that is in advance of the date it is actually published. |
 | In practice, magazines are a subset of periodicals, 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. |
 | 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. |

 | A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects. |
 | Magazines usually have articles on popular topics of interest to the general public and are written at the reading level of most of the population. |
 | The oldest magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though its multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. |
