Class Reponse: Magazines (J1)

Magazines, magazines, magazines. How wonderful they are! Even though they are marketed toward certain niches now they are still great resources for reports and fun to read. Some being informational and other for entertainment. They had first introduced investigative reporting, personality profiles, and photojournalism. It's amazing how a single magazine can include all of them though. Journalists, though, have to be watchdogs for the whole world, whatever nation that they are in or working for. This includes doing investigative reporting and personality profiles because the require lots of work. Anyway, at first I didn't really understand the points of having these purposes for magazines. I still really don't but they make more sense now because it makes sense to report like that and dig deeper for more articles. That's sort of on the topic of newspapers and writing. So on the topic of magazines they were the very first type of national media and are a very large part of mass communication. They communicate to almost every one who sees them and read them. With most truth and some interesting loops in them they communicate to all. That I do understand though.
