NEWSPAPER

A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events and
is often typed in black ink with a white or gray background.

Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often
include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, birth
notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.

Newspapers have traditionally been published in print (usually on cheap, low-grade paper called
newsprint). However, today most newspapers are also published on websites as online
newspapers.

Newspapers developed in the 17th century, as information sheets for merchants. By the early
19th century, many cities in Europe, as well as North and South America, published newspapers.

MAGAZINE

A magazine is a periodical publication which is printed in gloss-coated and matte paper.

Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They
are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a
combination of the three.

A magazine paginates with each issue starting at page three, with the standard sizing
being 8 3 8 in × 10 7 8 in (210 mm × 280 mm).

The word "magazine" derives from Middle French magasin meaning "warehouse, depot,
store", from Italian magazzino, from Arabic makhazin, the plural of makhzan meaning
"storehouse".

Distribution

 Print magazines can be distributed through the mail, through sales by newsstands,
bookstores, or other vendors, or through free distribution at selected pick-up locations.
 Electronic distribution methods can include social media, email, news aggregators, and
visibility of a publication's website and search engine results.
 The traditional subscription business models for distribution fall into three main
categories:
 Paid circulation: In this model, the magazine is sold to readers for a price, either
on a per-issue basis or by subscription, where an annual fee or monthly price is
paid and issues are sent by post to readers. Paid circulation allows for defined
readership statistics.
 Non-paid circulation: This means that there is no cover price and issues are
given away, for example in street dispensers, airline, or included with other
products or publications. Because this model involves giving issues away to
unspecific populations, the statistics only entail the number of issues distributed,
and not who reads them.

 Controlled circulation: This is the model used by many trade magazines

(industry-based periodicals) distributed only to qualifying readers, often for free
and determined by some form of survey.
