II. MAGAZINES

Daniel Defoe, the man who wrote Robinson Crusoe, published the first
magazine. He had strong opinions about the British Government’s policies, and
he wanted to publish his ideas so that people can read them. In 1704 he started
writing and publishing the Review. It appeared every week until 1713.
Gradually other magazines were founded. Some lasted only a short time.
Some have continued to last up to the present time.
More than 25 magazines are published in Indonesia alone. Some small
magazines are put out by two or three people. But the large, general magazines
are tremendously complicated operations.
Magazines are sometimes classified according to periodic issue of magazine
– weekly magazine, bi-monthly magazine, and monthly magazine. But the
classification can be based on the age or sex of the readers. They are the
gentlemen’s magazine, women’s magazine, boys’ magazine, girls’ magazine, and
children’s magazine.
There are various kinds of magazines now : religious magazines, farm
magazines, and magazines for doctors, bankers, teachers, druggists, and
homemakers.
Women’s magazines include articles concerned with family living, food
recipes and dresses. Children’s magazine is a magazine for children. On its
pages readers find stories, poems, and articles. Some articles are written by
famous writers. Children’s magazines sometimes publish travel articles, stories
in serial form, sheet music, poems and declamations. Declamations are speeches
or recitations with dramatic gestures.
