Magazines are publications issued periodically containing essays, stories, poems and photographs on various topics. The first magazine, titled 'The Gentlemens Magazine', was published in Germany in 1663. In the mid-1800s, monthly magazines grew in popularity as they contained more information than local newspapers. Modern magazines are produced using advanced printing presses and contain a mix of entertaining and advertising content, with the latter helping fund the publication. Common types of magazines include consumer publications targeting specific interests, trade magazines for professional fields, and in-house magazines for companies and organizations.
