The History of Magazines: From Print to Digital

-

 






Magazines have come a long way since they first appeared in the 1600s. Early magazines, like Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen (1663), focused on essays and book reviews for scholars. By the 1700s, magazines like The Gentleman’s Magazine became more popular and covered general topics like politics and fashion.

In the 1800s and early 1900s, magazines like Harper’s Weekly and National Geographic grew thanks to better printing and more readers. Later, magazines started targeting specific groups, like teens (Seventeen) or sports fans (Sports Illustrated), making them even more popular.

When the internet took over, magazines went digital. Big names like Time and Vogue created websites, and new online magazines like BuzzFeed became hits with younger readers.

Magazines teach us the importance of knowing your audience and staying creative. Two major things I’ll be focusing on for my project.

Syllabus reflection

  Media studies is an international AICE course, it is a course that is focused on today’s important topics like fashion, sports, music, film, radio and podcasts, print, etc. I’m looking forward to the research we must do to create our blogs and magazines, another thing about this course that i am interested in is finding out what media skills that i can learn and finding out how i will be able to apply them in my everyday life. There are some aspects of the course that make me nervous such as the process of making the blogs , another aspect of the course that makes me nervous is the grading standards that we will be held up to as this is a Cambridge class. My biggest worry though is whether i will pass the final exam or not.   I hope to gain a deeper understanding of media related products that we use in our everyday lives.   "created with canva"
