Magazines are typically published weekly, twice-monthly or monthly, and often have some colour-printed content and coated paper. "Journal" is sometimes used in reference to a magazine.
some magazinesMany weekend newspapers now incorporate 'magazine sections' with a magazine-like format.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Formed in 1977, Magazine was one of the earliest punk rock groups to embrace the more experimental feel that would come to dominate the so called post punk movement of the late 70'sand early 80's. While the group kept much of the nervous, paranoid drive of early punk; both the lyrics and the music were wierder than typical punk rock, filled with strange poetic imagery, shards of keyboard and a point of view nearly as introverted as fellow early post punk trailblazers like joy division; if signifigantly more fragmented and nervous. Although never the biggest group in the punk scene and relatively unknown in America, they had a great deal of influence on the early post punk and even goth rock scene, and continue to be an influence even today (radiohead in particular draws on the lyrical style of the group)The group released four albums, starting with the woozy punk of "Real life", followed by the cold synth driven "secondhand daylight" and pop from another planet of "secondhand daylight". Their final album "magic, murder and the weather" suffered a drop in quality, and is probably only worth it to those who loved the previous three. Several quality collections are also available.

Searchlight magazine describes itself as an "international anti-Fascist magazine", and publishes material critical of far-right political parties worldwide. It is edited by Gerry Gable, a former member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and the "62 Group" and adopts a very left-wing stance on most issues.Searchlight has consistently published exposés of the National Front and the British National Party and their members, which have been heavily criticised by some who claim such articles were attempts to encourage physical attacks on the individuals concerned.
Searchlight has also written about organizations such as Combat 18 and the neo-nazi music scene.
Searchlight has been controversial on both the right and the left of the British political spectrum. Many organisations such as Anti-Fascist Action refuse to work with it due to its alleged links with the British security forces. It has been sued by a plethora of organisations on many occasions, often successfully.

White Dwarf is a magazine published by United Kingdom games manufacturer Games Workshop. Initially dedicated to all kinds of role-playing games the magazine is now dedicated just to those games produced by Games Workshop.Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone produced a magazine called "Owl and Weasel" which ran for approximately 25 issues before being re-vamped into "White Dwarf."
First published in the 1970s and focused on wargaming, it received a strong boost when the first editions of the RPG Dungeons & Dragons, published in the UK by Games Workshop, referred to White Dwarf on its back page. This allowed people who had bought this game order the magazine directly from Games Workshop, establishing its circulation.
The magazine was hugely influential in the 1980s when it helped to popularise RPGs, including those American RPGs for which Games workshop had the UK licence. In addition to this a generation of writers passed through it offices and onto other RPG projects in the next decade, such as Phil Masters and Marcus Rowland.
The magazine has featured numerous articles and photographs about miniature figure painting.
Almost all British gamers have read White Dwarf, nicknamed by some as "Waste Drain", regularly at some point in their lives and pretty much all of them have an opinion as to when White Dwarf was "good". These periods are usually pre-issue 100 and often cluster around the issue 40 - 60 mark without any consensus ever being gained. Few are happy with the current incarnation, which is often little more than a house catalog.
For UK role-players the current successor to White Dwarf is Valkyrie and there are hopes that this magazine will replace the hole left in the hobby by this well-remembered magazine.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SERIAL, n. A literary work, usually a story that is not true, creeping through several issues of a newspaper or magazine. Frequently appended to each installment is a "synposis of preceding chapters" for those who have not read them, but a direr need is a synposis of succeeding chapters for those who do not intend to read them. A synposis of the entire work would be still better. The late James F. Bowman was writing a serial tale for a weekly paper in collaboration with a genius whose name has not come down to us. They wrote, not jointly but alternately, Bowman supplying the installment for one week, his friend for the next, and so on, world without end, they hoped. Unfortunately they quarreled, and one Monday morning when Bowman read the paper to prepare himself for his task, he found his work cut out for him in a way to surprise and pain him. His collaborator had embarked every character of the narrative on a ship and sunk them all in the deepest part of the Atlantic. |
