Magazine
A magazine is a type of book people read. Magazines differ from books because a new issue of the magazine is printed many times each year with new contents. Magazines are a type of periodical. They are called periodicals because editions are published at a fixed frequency. Magazines are similar to newspapers, but usually the time between new issues is longer. Each copy of a magazine costs more money than a newspaper, and many are in color on every page. Sometimes magazines come with little gifts to reward the readers who buy it.
Magazines are printed on paper. Many people subscribe to them so every issue will be delivered. Others buy them at a newsstand or elsewhere. An example of a magazine is Time. There are magazines about many things. Magazines often feature articles, advertisements, and photographs that focus on specific topics like fashion, technology, or entertainment.
