Landon Y. Jones has a lot to answer for. The former managing editor of People magazine, Jones is as responsible as anyone for America’s celebrity obsession. He was there in March 1974 when the magazine launched, helping People discover its guiding principle of portraying celebrities as ordinary folks. He was there when the magazine perfected things like the “write around,” a piece about a hot star compiled from old interviews and secondhand sources, and “the swarm,” a blitzkrieg tactic that put a legion of reporters on the same story at once. And he was there at the magazine’s peak, when Princess Diana’s death in 1997 led to People’s best-selling issue ever. In between, he helped feed the country’s growing fixation

<p></p>
The Bengali monthly magazine Antahpur, started in 1898, was the first magazine in India solely managed by women (Antahpur 1901).1 Started by Banalata Devi,2 the tagline of the magazine was “Edited and contributed to by the ladies only.” Its editor wrote in the January 1901 issue:Magazines that are run by women in England and in America have hundreds and thousands of members. A lot of women spend energy and resources in publishing these magazines. Our hope is that the educated women of Bengal will contribute similarly towards Antahpur through articles that are informative and have good advise.3 This magazine had stories, poems, songs, prayers, and essays all written by women on issues important to them.

Industry-specific magazines are a genre imbued with identity-forming symbolism and rhetoric. Magazines belonging to professions serve a purpose different from popular publications, which is to reflect the profession back at itself. The organizing principle of Architecture NZ magazine’s content is that it is of Aotearoa New Zealand, whether that be discussion of design for this landscape or acknowledgement of a professional heralding from this country.1 To that end, Architecture NZ represents issues of place-based concern to readers in Aotearoa New Zealand, and elsewhere. It is a lens through which to understand and to critique and shape the profession’s impact, and it serves as one of the few central points around

Joan Younger Dickinson was never a household name. Yet, as a reporter, she reached hundreds of thousands of listeners and readers with her writing. She reported on tragedies and run-of-the-mill events. She covered celebrities and everyday people. Ultimately, as the years went on, she helped guide thousands of middle-class women as they adjusted to a new reality following World War II. Although she had large wire and magazine audiences in the 1940s through the 1960s, her story has been largely overlooked. While women journalists are typically restricted to the footnotes of history,1 Younger Dickinson has even escaped that attention.2Many women who found a place in the public sphere during World War II took on new

Operations of general-interest college magazines usually do not follow a temporal news cycle; coverage of news events is the purview of newspapers, radio, and TV outlets that produce on a timelier basis. Thus, the mission for the campus magazine is to dig deep into campus life and offer content highlighting the faces, voices, and energy creating or involved in campus culture. This content can be declarative or explorative: from “this is who we [insert campus name] are” to “we are exploring the facets of what it means to be [insert campus name] at this moment in time in photos.” With the isolation and unease of a pandemic, heartbreak of police-involved shootings, and energy of social justice demonstrations, student

The power of magazines lies in their ability to create a forum for communities of all types to share their news, experiences, and perspectives, creating opportunities for informing, representing, and meaning-making. Although many magazines were developed to draw a large, general audience, many more have aimed to serve different roles, including catering to audiences of women, specific race and ethnic groups, age groups, geographic groups, those with specific interests and hobbies, those in a specific professions, and others. Specialized magazines are often produced by and serve the same group, creating a sense of ownership and intimacy not often found in mass media.This issue of the Journal of Magazine Media
