Magazines
Movie, Music, & Entertainment Magazines
Magazines began in 17th-century Germany with scholarly journals like Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen, evolving from pamphlets to regular publications for specific interests, with The Gentleman's Magazine (1731) popularizing the term. The 19th century saw mass circulation in the U.S. due to cheaper printing, expanding to family/women's titles like Godey's Lady's Book and The Saturday Evening Post, while the 20th century introduced picture magazines (Life, National Geographic) and newsmagazines (Time, Newsweek), blending education, entertainment, and advertising for broader audiences.
