Class Response to Magazines

A few days ago, Mr. Miller's Journalism 1 class learned about Magazines. There's a few differences between Magazines and Newspapers. Magazines come out monthly while newspapers come out weekly. The paper magazines are printed on are more durable than newspapers. Turns out, magazines were actually the first national medium not newspapers. In 1879, the Postal Act of 1879 was passed. The act said that you could ship magazines across the country for a penny per pound. This resulted in a subsidy. This means that you will help pay something that benefits the other person. Magazines were an innovation. It allowed the best photo journalism and investigative journalism to be displayed. So in conclusion we come to this question,

Why did Magazines get to where they are today?

They were demassified. As you can see magazines today aren't for everyone. They are for certain groups.
