Culture magazinesmagazinesIn Britain and the US there are thousands of weekly and monthly magazines, many of them aimed at particular groups of readers such as teenage girls, new parents, people interested in gardening or professional groups such as doctors. Many are available both online and in print. Some have a related website containing a selection of articles from the magazine itself. Among the best-sellers are the television guides, such as the Radio Times in Britain and TV Guide in the US. Some magazines have a smaller readership but are considered important because they are respected and have a role in forming opinion. In the US there are several widely read news magazines such as Time, Newsweek and US News and World Report, and in Britain The Economist, The New Statesman and The Spectator are read for their political comment. The British satirical magazine Private Eye is very popular. Literary magazines include The Times Literary Supplement, The London Review of Books and Granta in Britain and The New York Review of Books in the US.There are free magazines that are only available only to certain people such as in-flight magazines published by airlines for people to read during a flight, and store magazines which customers of supermarkets receive. Store magazines are the most widely distributed magazines in the UK. Special-interest clubs and societies publish magazines for their members.General-interest magazines include titles such as Vanity Fair and Harper's Magazine, magazines about fashion, of which the most famous is Vogue, the home, gardens, food and family life. There are also magazines on DIY, cars, sport, travel, films and music. Rolling Stone, Billboard and New Musical Express are popular music magazines. Sight and sound and Empire are specialist film magazines.In Britain some football clubs produce a club magazine. Fanzines (or 'zines) are cheap paper or online magazines produced by fans (= supporters) of a singer, group or sports club. Gossip magazines have stories about the rich and famous and these include Hello!, Heat and National Enquirer, which is sold in US supermarkets.Some magazines are read mainly for their listings, for example, Time Out, which gives details of plays, concerts, etc. in London or New York. Exchange and Mart contains only advertisements of items for sale or wanted.More specialist magazines include New Scientist, Scientific American, Nature and The Lancet.There have always been more magazines for women than for men but there are now various fashion magazines for men such as Esquire and GQ. Vogue and Harper's Bazaar are expensive, high-quality fashion magazines for women. Other women's magazines have a more informal style and contain stories, competitions, articles on fashion, make-up, food and fitness, and an agony column (NAmE advice column) (= replies to readers' letters on personal problems). One of the most popular magazines is Cosmopolitan, which also includes film and book reviews and advice on sex and careers. Other women's titles include Good Housekeeping and Elle.Magazines can be bought in supermarkets and bookshops, at news stands, and in Britain at a newsagent's.

Word Originlate 16th cent.: from French magasin, from Italian magazzino, from Arabic mak̲zin, mak̲zan ‘storehouse’, from k̲azana ‘store up’. The term originally meant ‘store’ and was often used from the mid 17th cent. in the title of books providing information useful to particular groups of people, whence senses (1) and (2) (mid 18th cent.). Sense (4), a contemporary specialization of the original meaning, gave rise to sense (3) in the mid 18th cent.
