Blog post #12 Types of Magazines

 This post will go over the various types of magazines and a reflection on my thoughts on them

Scholarly 

These articles are typically written by professors in colleges ad universities, with respect to the specific topic. These types of articles are written in a way that's well documented with a bibliography featuring the documented sources, and with very little advertising. Audience includes are scholars in that respected field.

Trade

Trade magazines are publications aimed at a specific field or job. Naturally these articles are written by those who work in that respected field. Audience makes up those who either work or follow that carer.  

Popular 

Popular articles are the most well known of the three types,  featuring magazines and newspapers. These are written by professional or free lance writers. While these types of magazines are geared toward the general public, specific magazines can be tailored towards a specific group, depending on the genre and topic.

Reflection

While I had been aware of the common popular magazine, I never really knew about scholarly and trade. But while reading over the three main types of magazine, I consider it a good thing that there are different types that appeal to different people interest beyond just drama and gossip as seen in the popular.  magazine.
