Types Of Magazines

Conventions

    With over 44 genres and roughly 7 types the origin of these magazines stem from the variations of interests people have. Sports, Auto, Business and Finance, Children, computer and electronics, cooking, food and beverage, craft and hobbies, entertainment and tv magazines are the seven types of magazines. Each type of magazine is filled with information regarding that type of magazine and the information is centered around the title or image of the magazine cover.  

This example would be under food and beverage. Although the title says “Better Homes and Gardens” the picture and descriptions on the page can clearly be seen as food related. A citrus treat that can be clarified by the “bring on the zest” title. 

This example is of an auto magazine and can be vividly seen by the image and text. This type of magazine can include vehicle information, certain car parts and their latest updates, or new cars coming out in future years. 

    Periodicals are magazines, newspapers, and journals published at intervals (daily, weekly, monthly) with the content controlled by the editor. Some examples of these periodicals include Newspapers (Arizona Republic, New York Times), Popular (Rolling Stone, People, Sports Illustrated) Scholarly and Research (New England Journal of Medicine, Bioscience) Trade and Professional (Arizona Nurse, Automotive News) Periodicals provide the most recent information in the most in depth way possible. This content is more focused but a more prolonged throughout version will follow in a book later on.
