Genre's






 Magazines contain a variety of topics in relation to a genre. There are hundreds of thousands of magazines that cover a wide variety of ideas with intentions to inform, entertain, or other. Genre refers to an artistic composition characterized by similarities in subject matter. So, a magazine under the genre of beauty would contain different compositions on things regarding beauty, such as makeup, skincare, haircare, etc. Magazines along with other media organizations usually classify topics to target a specific audience, for example, a beauty magazine would be considered a special interest magazine, which tailors to the interests of a feminine audience. There are three magazine categories, which include:

  • General interest magazines
  • Special interest magazines
  • Professional magazines
General interest magazines cover multiple topics, that do not necessarily have to be related to each other. They can cover a diverse range of topics; these magazines can entertain the general public and reach a wide audience.



Special interest magazines, in contrast, cover one topic. These magazines tailor to a more specific audience, including different articles and information on only the topic that the magazine is about. For example, a general interest magazine on beauty may include many different aspects of beauty, such as skin and haircare, healthy eating, meditation, and other things. While a special interest magazine would simply include skincare.



Professional magazines are magazines created for a specific group of people, usually in a certain profession. These magazines are informational, organized, and usually published by professionals of said field, with the intention of developing the knowledge of its audience.
