Unlike newspapers that get printed frequently, magazines are more periodical. They only get printed at regular intervals—like every week, or month, or quarter. As such, they don’t cover as much timely, breaking news. Instead they tend to focus on more in-depth coverage of a topic.
Where most newspapers cover a specific geographic area, like a city or region, magazines are more often based on certain topics of interest—like gardening or sports. They attract a certain audience and can therefore dive deep into a specific subject.
Because they have more time to print and deliver a publication, magazines also often use more color photographs in their glossy pages. This helps set them apart from the black-and-white smudged pages of the daily newspaper.
Perhaps the earliest example of the modern-day magazine appeared in Germany around 1663. The first publication to use the word magazine was The Gentleman's Magazine—a general interest rag that ran for over 200 years from 1731 until 1922.
In our age of technology, more people are reading magazines digitally. And because of their focus on in-depth writing and quality photography, many magazines translate well to the online space. However, there’s still something special about being able to read a printed magazine article.
Many publications (like Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, National Geographic and People) still have strong brands, and the ability to advertise still gives publishers a relatively strong revenue stream to keep the presses running.
