ANSWER: The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general- interest magazine.

The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance. In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author.

The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on, advertising started to flourish. In 1923, Time Magazine made its debut as the first weekly news magazine in the United States. Four years later, in 1927, Warner Bros released the world’s first feature-length taking picture, The Jazz Singer. In 1963, recommendations from the Inc. based on how it delivered magazines led to introduction of zip codes by the United States Post Office. In 1972, Kinney National Company spun off its non-entertainment assets due to a financial scandal over its parking operations and renamed itself Warner Communications Inc.
In 1984, Nigerian journalists Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese and Yakubu Mohammed formed the Newswatch Magazine, and its first edition was distributed on 28th January, 1985. A 1989 description of the magazine said it “changed the format of print journalism in Nigeria and introduced bold, investigative formats to news reporting in Nigeria”. However, in the first few months of the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida who took power in August 1985, the magazine was shamelessly flattering. It printed his face on the cover four times and even criticized “anyone who attempted to make life unpleasant for Babaginda”. In 1996, the magazine was said to have a circulation of 150,000 copies in Africa, Europe and North America. On 15th April, 1991, tell magazine published is first edition. All five of the founding editors have worked at Newswatch, where they learned to create in- depth, investigative feature stories. They left that magazine due to low pay and disagreements with senior management, hoping that the new magazine would be more fulfilling. Although the magazine’s founders had high ambitions, they were not initially hostile to the government. However, they were determined to be free of government or political influence.
With my little exposure to the frameworks of others and by reading others people's works on the historical development of magazine all over the world using Nigeria as a vital focus, I have got to know that everything which excel and prosper in term of technological advancement has its own historical background dated to an earlier age, and magazine today which has become rampant and sophisticated in term of aesthetic value, price and other essential figures has its trace to the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, who published the first thing to be know as magazine in 1663. Without suppressing and obstructing the fact, I have also got to know the differences between newspaper and magazine and their articles, contents and publications. With my exposure to past works of others with the aim of getting fact, I have also been able to memorize the contribution of magazine into the Nigeria politics most especially the military era.
MATRIC NUMBER: 13/ 30/ 0430 NAME: LAWAL AHMED LEVEL: ND 2 EVENING COURSE CODE: MAC 223 with my experience and little knowledge about the development of Magazine..... i have come to know that All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception. HOW IT WAS BEFORE: In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, New watch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like Prime People and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, Prime People appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society. MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes. • buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like Hip Hop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Wedding bells. • Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like True Love, Genevieve, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria. • Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and This Day Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in This Day Newspapers. We also have Four Two for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also Motor Shopper for car dealers and
• Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favorably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. • Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers. PRICE RANGE Most Nigerian magazines that are of international standard have their cover price set between N500 and N2,500. GETTING THE MAGAZINES WHILE ABROAD For some Nigerians abroad who yearn for magazines that are published at home, you can get your relatives and friends to help you get a copy of the magazine of your choice. Most of these magazines also have websites that allow you to subscribe and receive them.

QUESTION: In not more than 2 pages, examine the historical development of magazine all over the world with a special focus on Nigeria.
ANSWER: Magazines are publication, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines). They are generally on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, In London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to use the term “magazine”, on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, ultimately derived from the Arabic. Makhazin.
The oldest consumer magazine still in print in the Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd’s List was founded in Edward Lloyd’s England Coffess shop in 1734, it is still published as a daily business newspaper.
The emergence of the new media branch was based on the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives it name. Historian Johannes Weber says, "At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born. The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, was the first newspaper.
All over the world magazine are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and belief. The Nigerian Market for Magazines is no exception.

As I have gathered and with the help of some source have the knowledge of development of magazine in Nigeria with the rest of the world as a whole…..

EXAMINE THE HISTORY OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
Historically, there have been two approaches to the study of magazines: one approach defines magazines in terms of form as physical commodities, and the second approach defines magazines as vehicles for ideas, understanding, and reader service. The first approach is often found in our trade publications, the second is found among our scholars, for the latter often view magazines as agents of socialization and as media for dissemination of popular culture. If then magazines are seen as reflective of culture, studies should also mirror that culture. What may be logically presumed is not what my survey of the literature indicates. On the contrary, my survey suggests that these studies do not provide scholarly information on magazines that is consistent with current norms of our culture. The question then is what types of studies have been performed using international magazines, and what, if any, are their importance to advancing scholarship in magazine research.
A limited number of studies have been performed on magazines published outside the United States, and few are accessible to American scholars. This paper will attempt to first describe some of these research studies and their methodologies. Thirty-four studies have been surveyed as representative of world-wide studies during the period 1980-1993. The parameters of the survey are as follows: only studies using periodicals published outside the U.S. are included, with the exception of comparative studies that also include U.S. magazines; dates investigated were 1980 to present; sources of inquiry began with the _Social Science Index, Humanities Index, Communications Abstracts Journalism Abstracts, Carl Uncover MLA Index, ERIC, Dissertations Abstracts, Paine and Paine's _Magazines: A Bibliography for Their Analysis, with Annotations and Study Guide_; and no studies are included that use U.S. magazines covering foreign events, people, or issues.
The significance of evaluating what has been written on magazines is that it identifies gaps which scholars can begin to fill to provide a better understanding of our global patterns of communication. The scholarly journals have already recognized this pattern of globalization in the case of print news media. It is my view that the scholarship on magazines needs to develop an awareness of corresponding patterns of globalization.
As literacy increases, as radio and TV broadcasts dominate the immediacy of the news, magazines are being forced to adapt their pages to provide in-depth coverage of news events. Magazines confirm and expand what people have heard in other media. Whereas the circulations of daily presses have remained about the same for 10 years, circulations of magazines and startups of magazines have increased. This is not to say there are no problems. Throughout the world, the cost or even availability of newsprint is an important obstacle to magazine production. These difficulties are further compounded by the loss of advertising revenue to radio and TV, the reluctance of the public to pay what a newspaper costs, high illiteracy, lack of printing presses, inaccessible rural areas, and a variety of languages besides the official language. All of these factors contribute negatively to the growth of magazines. However, magazines are highly significant in terms of the reproduction of what has been called consumer culture. They provide a unique combination of pictorial and popular literary expression that is not found in either newspapers or broadcast.
All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception. HOW IT WAS In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society. MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes. THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria. • Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells. • Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. • Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. • Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

NAME: OLAIDE MOTUNRAYO.K MATRIC NO: 13/30/0378 COURSE TITLE: MAGAZINE EDITING AND PRODUCTION COURSE CODE: MAC 223 LEVEL: ND 2 (EVENING) ASSIGNMENT THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA. ANSWER: The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine," on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, ultimately derived from the Arabic: مخازن makhazin ("storehouses") by way of the French language. Wordsmith offers this origin: "Plural of Arabic: مخزن makhzan: storehouse, used figuratively as "storehouse of information" for books, and later to periodicals).The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper. In 2011, 152 magazines ceased operations and in 2012, 82 magazines were closed down.According to statistics from the end of 2013, subscription levels for 22 of the top 25 magazines declined from 2012 to 2013, with just Time, Glamour and ESPN The Magazine gaining numbers. WHAT HAVE GAINED: Sequel to my perousal of other peoples works and views on the historical development of magazines all over the world,I realised that magazine development has been a gradual and effective process that spans accross different geographical locations of the world.
AJAYI OLUWABUNMI OYEBIMPE 13/30/0432 LESSON This assignment which enabled me to delve into historical development of magazine, as not only made me know about magazine from inception, but as also enlighten me about how far magazine has gone in the history of print media, made me know what makes magazine distinct from news paper, and how it has influence people's life positively, especially in Nigeria. ASSIGNMENT Before the invention of newspapers in the early 17th century, official government bulletins were circulated at times in some centralized empires. The earliest newspapers date to 17th-century Europe when printed periodicals began rapidly to replace the practice of hand-writing newssheets. The emergence of the new media branch has to be seen in close connection with the simultaneous spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives its name. At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born.
The history of print media in Nigeria goes as for back as the 1840s when European missionaries established community newspapers to propagate Christianity. This initiative later gave rise to the establishment of newspaper outfits by the likes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1937. Titled West African Pilot, Zik’s paper pioneered a general protest against the British colonial rule and resulted to the eventual attainment of independence in 1960. This powerful influence manifested by the paper led to the establishment of many newspapers especially in the 1960s.
The New Nigerian Newspaper Limited, with its head office along Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, was established by the then government of the Northern Region on 23rd October, 1964. The first copies of the paper was issued on January 1st 1966. Its initial name was Northern Nigerian Newspapers Limited. But when states were created out of the regions in 1964 it was changed to New Nigerian Newspapers Limited as it is known today.

> The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”. > Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904. > HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA > The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008). > In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s. > It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria. > Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch. > However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. > Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organizational policy and the target audiences.
#COMMENT: I understands that magazine is an offspoot of newspaper and it is designed to meet the need to further investigate, interpret and correlate the news which must have been reported by newspapers.

Magazines published throughout the world find their way onto our major city newsstand racks and bookstores, or they come through the mail for the subscription price Historically, there have been two approaches to the study of magazines: one approach defines magazines in terms of form as physical commodities, and the second approach defines magazines as vehicles for ideas, understanding, and reader service. The first approach is often found in our trade publications, the second is found among our scholars, for the latter often view magazines as agents of socialization and as media for dissemination of popular culture. If then magazines are seen as reflective of culture, studies should also mirror that culture. What may be logically presumed is not what my survey of the literature indicates. On the contrary, my survey suggests that these studies do not provide scholarly information on magazines that is consistent with current norms of our culture. The question then is what types of studies have been performed using international magazines, and what, if any, are their importance to advancing scholarship in magazine research Before the invention of newspapers in the early 17th century, official government bulletins were circulated at times in some centralized empires.

With the popularity and interactivity offered by the Internet and World Wide Web, media organizations see the Web as a medium they must conquer if they are going to survive (Villano, 1999). They have good reason to be concerned. From an historical perspective, whenever a new medium reaches critical mass it threatens to, and does, displace existing media to some degree. For example, the upstart television industry took consumers and advertisers away from the radio industry back in the 1940s and 1950s. The revolution of special–interest niche magazines began back in the early 1970s; the magazine industry reacted to the loss of national advertising and eventual failure of mass circulation, general interest magazines due to the increasing use of television by both consumers and advertisers (Gage, 1982; van Zuilen, 1977).
Today, magazines face competition from Internet–only e–zines, which have virtually no traditional paper, printing, or distribution costs, and are better versed in new media interactivity. Because of this they are able to serve even more specialized vertical communities — a function similar to today’s special interest and trade magazines. Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text–based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four–color, text–based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology.
Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001). According to a survey in Folio, a leading trade publication, 54.5 percent of the sampled magazine professionals feel that the integration of print and digital media is a top issue facing the industry — second only to circulation economics (Folio, 2001).
Purpose The purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century. The goal is to provide context and perspective on the increasing penetration of the World Wide Web and its effect on magazine reading habits. Some of industry’s major developments and trends are examined in light of the introductions of new mass media. Within the framework of this paper, new media are considered as new forms of mass communication or entertainment media that threaten to take readers or advertisers away from traditional magazines.
The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet. Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977). Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry. For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers. Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).
Each time a new medium is introduced it threatens to displace existing media to some degree or another (Dimmick and Rothenbuhler, 1984b). An historical perspective on both the perceived threats at their introduction, and the general effects of new media on magazines throughout this century will provide a better understanding of the current media landscape.
i realized by this article that the purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century.

Matric no:13/30/0095 Name: Sado praise Course Title:Magazine Editing And Production Course Code:MAC 223 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception. HOW IT WAS In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/ true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively. Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society. MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes. THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria. Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells. Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

The earliest example of magazine was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy. The Gentleman's Magazine', first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name " Sylvanus Urban," was the first to use the term " Magazine". The name magazine which was coined from the Arabic word "Makhazin" means the storehouse or warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various materials or goods. The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List Magazine was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper. Thr first women' magazine, Ladies Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course these publications in their begining were called periodicals In 1704 the first English language magazine was published in London by Daniel Defore, the author of Robin Crusoe. It was some years later, 1714 to be exact, that the idea of magazine came to america. Benjamin Franklin was involved and so was Andrew Bradford. The first really successful magazine in the United States was the Saturday Evening Post, fitst published in 1821. It lasted as a weekly publication until 1969, after which it appeared somewhat sporadically.
Most News Magazine in Nigeria are printed weekly and they consider themselves to be the last vestige of the common man. Many of these magazines contributed immensely to see the end of Millitary rule in Nigeria. These magazines are known for their belligerent assault on national leadership and use of secret offices, sometimes called bush offices to print their publications during military rule. Many of these magazines are available in all Nigeria cities and towns. They publish political, economic, sports and global issues stories.

In 1923, Time Magazine made its debut as the first weekly news magazine in the United States. Four years later, in 1927, Warner Bros released the world’s first feature-length taking picture, The Jazz Singer. In 1963, recommendations from the Inc. based on how it delivered magazines led to introduction of zip codes by the United States Post Office.

It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.

According to British philosopher Francis Bacon, the printing press was one of the three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”. Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to the painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass_ produced for the first time in human history. In 1663, German theologian and poet Johann Rist created a periodical called Erbauliche Monaths unterredungen (“edifying monthly discussions”). Widely considered to be one of the earliest examples of modern magazine, the gazette lasted for five years and spanned a myriad of similar journals in England, France and Italy cultured young intellectuals readily devoured the periodicals, which summarized new books and welcomed scholarly articles. In 1672, the first “periodical amusement” was published. Le Mercure Gallant (later called Mercure de france), was created by French writer and playwright Jean Donneau de vize. The publication contained news, songs and short verses and gossip. Despite being disparaged by other writers of the day for its amusing rather than intellectual content, the periodical became very popular in France. The 1700’s ushered in a time increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Societies hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple English printers produced three essay periodicals that set the stage for modern magazines: Daniel Defoe’s the review (published 1704_13); Sir Richard Steel’s the Tatler (published 1709_11); and Addison and Steel’s the spectator (published 1711_12). Since he periodicals were published several times a week, they resemble our modern newspaper. However, the content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The review published opinionated essays about national and international event. The Tatler and the spectator sought to “evliven” morality with wit, and to temper wit morality”. These two publications influenced the manners and thoughts of the day. These periodicals represented a middle ground between the in-depth research found in books and the quick recaps found in newspapers. They set the stage for h=our concept of the modern magazine. In 1731, and English man named Edward Cave published a periodical called the gentleman magazine. He invented the world “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant store house. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in. His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments he coined the term “magazine”, and was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication. In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the formation they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publication could sometimes be difficult to produce due to unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday magazine) published by the late May Ellen, news watch by late Dele Giwa, and tell which was started by a group of people from news watch. Also popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s were some soft sell magazines, such as hints and at hearts, which were published by kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively. Not all these magazines are industry-based but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, prime people appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.

NIGERIAN MAGAZINES
A long time ago, Nigeria didn't have newspaper. Then the colonists came over and brought printing press techniques with them. They started printing all kinds of things including newspaper and magazine in disseminating information to the mass. Then many of the colonists left in the 60's when Nigeria gained independence but the natives continue to print newspaper and magazines.

The term newspaper became common in the 17th century. However, in Germany, publications that we would today consider to be newspaper publications, were appearing as early as the 16th century. They were discernibly newspapers for the following reasons: they were printed, dated, appeared at regular and frequent publication intervals, and included a variety of news items (unlike single item news mentioned above). The first newspaper according to modern definitions was the Strasbourg Relation, in the early 17th century. German newspapers, like avisis, were organized by the location from which they came, and by date. They differed from avisis in because they employed a distinct and highly illustrated title page, and they applied an overall date to each issue. The emergence of the new media branch was based on the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives it name. Historian Johannes Weber says, "At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born. The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, was the first newspaper. Other early papers include the Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. of 1618 which was the first to appear in folio- rather than quarto-size. Amsterdam, a center of world trade, quickly became home to newspapers in many languages, often before they were published in their own country. The first English-language newspaper, Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc., was published in Amsterdam in 1620. A year and a half later, Corante, or weekely newes from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, France and the Low Countreys. was published in England by an "N.B." (generally thought to be either Nathaniel Butter or Nicholas Bourne) and Thomas Archer. The first newspaper in France was published in 1631, La Gazette (originally published as Gazette de France). The first newspaper in Portugal, A Gazeta da Restauração, was published in 1641 in Lisbon. The first Spanish newspaper, Gaceta de Madrid, was published in 1661. Post- och Inrikes Tidningar (founded as Ordinari Post Tijdender) was first published in Sweden in 1645, and is the oldest newspaper still in existence, though it now publishes solely online. Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, the Netherlands, first published in 1656, is the oldest paper still printed. It was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 when Germany occupied the Netherlands. Since then the Haarlems Dagblad appears with the subtitle Oprechte Haerlemse Courant 1656 and considers itself to be the oldest newspaper still publishing. Merkuriusz Polski Ordynaryjny was published in Kraków, Poland in 1661. The first successful English daily, The Daily Courant, was published from 1702 to 1735. The first editor, for 10 days in March 1702, was Elizabeth Mallet, who for years had operated her late husband's printing business. News was highly selective and often propagandistic. Readers were eager for sensationalism, such as accounts of magic, public executions and disasters; this material did not pose a threat to the state, because it did not pose criticism of the state.

The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general- interest magazine.

In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes. Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria. Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells. Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”. Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904. HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
Toheeb olamilekan oladejo 13/30/052 ND 2 evening Mac 223 The print media as one of the major media of communication are the most versatile and resilient of all the media of communication. The print media are made up of books, journals, magazines and newspapers and have come a long way in coverage of events in human society. The word magazine comes from the French word magasin, which means a store house. So just like the meaning of its root word, a magazine –news, features, pictures, cartoons adverts, etc keeps the public informed by providing information on a variety of subject matters- health, politics, education, fashion, sports, and others. Magazine is an offshoot of newspaper. It is an improvement on newspaper, and it is designed to meet the need to further investigate, interpret and correlate the news which must have been reported by newspapers.

The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria. Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch. However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli: 2010). Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organizational policy and the target audiences. A magazine style of writing is called “articles” or features. They are interesting, anecdotal and helpful articles which are investigative, interpretative, analytical and correlatives. That is, it is a print medium that does more of news analysis than mere news reporting. News reporting is important to a magazine but focuses on the interpretation and coverage of past events with wider perspective. It is an ideal medium of instruction and information for the leisurely and critical readers.

From other people's work, I've learnt that magazine publishers before now used to place emphasis on the quality of information they were disseminating and not the aesthetic quality of materials.
All over the world, magazine are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and believes. Le Mercure Galant was one of the first printed publications. Household Words was an English weekly magazine published in the 1850s by Charles Dickens. Gentleman’s Magazine is the first publication that was named magazine. Beginnings of print magazines First publication, which could be called a magazine, was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen , released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazines (various themes and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant . It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury , was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. Thank the Arabs Name “magazine” appeared in the year 1731 with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The name magazine, which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers and sailors. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost . First ad pages In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as, Dickens Household Words . During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853. After the repeal of the tax, number of ads did not increase since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century, that will mark the development of the magazines as one of the world’s leading media. With technological progress, increased circulation, and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish Fortune magazine was published, which originated from Time business pages. Fortune was considered the best and most influential American magazine. Besides heavily influenced by the world of business, Fortune is known for being the first high-quality printed magazine, with pages in full color. Fortune also invented photo-journalism, something that would make Life magazine famous. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception. HOW IT WAS In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality.

The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008). In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s. It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria. Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch. However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli: 2010). Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organizational policy and the target audiences. A magazine style of writing is called “articles” or features. They are interesting, anecdotal and helpful articles which are investigative, interpretative, analytical and correlatives. That is, it is a print medium that does more of news analysis than mere news reporting. News reporting is important to a magazine but focuses on the interpretation and coverage of past events with wider perspective. It is an ideal medium of instruction and information for the leisurely and critical readers.

The name magazine, which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers and sailors. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish. Good Housekeeping is one of the most iconic American magazines, more than a hundred years old. National Geographic Magazine is the most famous scientific magazine, and is one of the oldest in the world, dating from 1889. In crazy twenties Henry Luce publishes Time magazine, one of the most important political weeklies. Rise of the magazines In the early 20th century appears one of the most important icons in the world of publishing, William Randolph Hearst. As the owner of several newspapers across America, he engages in a merciless battle for readers with his mentor, Joseph Pulitzer. During the Cuban War for Independence, Hearst and Pulitzer published in their newspapers images of tortured and starving Cuban troops. At this moment arises the term yellow journalism, which marks the sensationalist approach to the presentation of events. Hearst expanded his empire to magazine publishing starting with the famous Good Housekeeping, Fortune magazine was published, which originated from Time business pages. Fortune was considered the best and most influential American magazine. Besides heavily influenced by the world of business, Fortune is known for being the first high-quality printed magazine, with pages in full color. Fortune also invented photo-journalism, something that would make Life magazine famous few years later. However, due to increasing costs of printing the Fortune starts to lose money, and in the 1948 is redesigned, both in graphics and in journalistic terms, and becomes an ordinary business magazine. She will change the way a women think At that time in post WWII Europe, in France, one person launched a magazine that greatly changed the way women think, speak, and perceive themselves. It was Helene Gordon Lazareff and her Elle (French for “she”) magazine was launched in 1945. Weekly Elle instructed French women how to be attractive and nice. The success of the magazine was huge and many have identified Helene and Elle, One of her talents was that she was able to find the right person at the right time, she knew how to create a star. In 1947 Helen promoted unknown designer Dior and his New Look, in 1950 she put on the cover, then unknown Brigitte Bardot, in 1952 she employed Francoise Giroud, a feminist who later runs the famous French political weekly L’Express . In 1958 she promoted the return of Coco Chanel, although at that time the French press did not favor famous Mademoiselle. Elle in 1965 promoted the futuristic vision in white by designer Courreges, and from week to week Elle was written by Simone de Beauvoir, Marguerite Duras, Colette and Françoise Dolto. Number of sold copies reached one million in 1960, when one out of six French women regularly reads Elle . In the history of the publishing no editor had such a lasting impact on its magazine as it was Helene. She left the magazine in 1972 when the sold circulation was around a million copies. In the year 1988, when dying of Alzheimer’s disease, circulation of Elle dropped to barely 370 000 sold copies.
* With this am able to understand and know the merit of magazine and the purpose of magazine in the world as a whole and Nigeria as a nation.

NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria. Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality.

ATRIC NO: 13/30/0276 COURSE TITLE: MAGAZINE EDITING AND PRODUCTION COURSE CODE: MAC 223 LEVEL: ND 2 (EVENING) DEPARTMENT: MASS COMMUNICATION ASSIGNMENT QUESTION: THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA. ANSWER: The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. The Gentleman’s Magazine, first published in1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward cave, who edited The Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to used the term “Magazine”, on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materials, ultimately derived from the Arabic “makhazin” (storehouses) by way of the French language. The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantities of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers ad sailors. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance. In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853. After the repeal of the tax, number of as did not increased since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest Magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazine as one of the world’s leading media. With technological progress, increased circulation and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on, advertising started to flourish. In 1923, Time Magazine made its debut as the first weekly news magazine in the United States. Four years later, in 1927, Warner Bros released the world’s first feature-length taking picture, The Jazz Singer. In 1963, recommendations from the Inc. based on how it delivered magazines led to introduction of zip codes by the United States Post Office. In 1972, Kinney National Company spun off its non-entertainment assets due to a financial scandal over its parking operations and renamed itself Warner Communications Inc.
MATRIC NO: 13 / 30 / 1198 DEPARTMENT: MASS COMMUNICATION HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE, ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA. According to British philosopher Francis Bacon, the printing press was one of the three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”. Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to the painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass_ produced for the first time in human history. In 1663, German theologian and poet Johann Rist created a periodical called Erbauliche Monaths unterredungen (“edifying monthly discussions”). Widely considered to be one of the earliest examples of modern magazine, the gazette lasted for five years and spanned a myriad of similar journals in England, France and Italy cultured young intellectuals readily devoured the periodicals, which summarized new books and welcomed scholarly articles. In 1672, the first “periodical amusement” was published. Le Mercure Gallant (later called Mercure de france), was created by French writer and playwright Jean Donneau de vize. The publication contained news, songs and short verses and gossip. Despite being disparaged by other writers of the day for its amusing rather than intellectual content, the periodical became very popular in France. The 1700’s ushered in a time increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Societies hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple English printers produced three essay periodicals that set the stage for modern magazines: Daniel Defoe’s the review (published 1704_13); Sir Richard Steel’s the Tatler (published 1709_11); and Addison and Steel’s the spectator (published 1711_12). Since he periodicals were published several times a week, they resemble our modern newspaper. However, the content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The review published opinionated essays about national and international event. The Tatler and the spectator sought to “evliven” morality with wit, and to temper wit morality”. These two publications influenced the manners and thoughts of the day. These periodicals represented a middle ground between the in-depth research found in books and the quick recaps found in newspapers. They set the stage for hour concept of the modern magazine. In 1731, and English man named Edward Cave published a periodical called the gentleman magazine. He invented the world “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant store house. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in. His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments he coined the term “magazine”, and was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication. In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the formation they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publication could sometimes be difficult to produce due to unavailability of advanced computer technology.

Magazine is a tangible things that with cannot do without, cause research enable us to know that magazine is the way of disseminating information to the people.

In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society. Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world. There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers. Most Nigerian magazines that are of international standard have their cover price set between N500 and N2, 500.Most of these magazines also have websites that allow you to subscribe and receive them. The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet. Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977).

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008). In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s. It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.

Likewise, in the technical sense a "journal" has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus Business Week, which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the Journal of Business Communication, which starts each volume with the winter issue and continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, an example being the Journal of Accountancy. Academic or professional publications that are not peer-reviewed are generally professional magazines. The fact that a publication calls itself a "journal" does not make it a journal in the technical sense. The Wall Street Journal is actually a newspaper.

(The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. (This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and, in various languages although not English, retail stores such as department stores). The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance. In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853.

In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. (This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and in various languages although not English, retail stores such as department stores). Magazines can be distributed through the mail, through sales by newsstands, bookstores, or other vendors, or through free distribution at selected pick-up locations. The subscription business models for distribution fall into three main categories. Paid circulation: In this model, the magazine is sold to readers for a price, either on a per-issue basis or by subscription, where an annual fee or monthly price is paid and issues are sent by post to readers. Non-paid circulation: This means that there is no cover price and issues are given away, for example in street dispensers, airline in-flight magazines, or included with other products or publications. Controlled circulation: This is the model used by many trade magazines (industry-based periodicals) distributed only to qualifying readers, often for free and determined by some form of survey. This latter model was widely used before the rise of the World Wide Web and is still employed by some titles. In the library technical sense, a “magazine” paginates with each issue starting at page three. Likewise, in the technical sense a “journal” has continuous pagination throughout a volume.

Although this is the age of the Internet, we continue to enjoy magazines, admire their pages, editorials, headlines.

For example, the upstart television industry took consumers and advertisers away from the radio industry back in the 1940s and 1950s. An historical perspective on both the perceived threats at their introduction, and the general effects of new media on magazines throughout this century will provide a better understanding of the current media landscape. The revolution of special–interest niche magazines began back in the early 1970s; the magazine industry reacted to the loss of national advertising and eventual failure of mass circulation, general interest magazines due to the increasing use of television by both consumers and advertisers (Gage, 1982; van Zuilen, 1977). Today, magazines face competition from Internet–only e–zines, which have virtually no traditional paper, printing, or distribution costs, and are better versed in new media interactivity. Because of this they are able to serve even more specialized vertical communities a function similar to today’s special interest and trade magazines. Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four colour, text based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology. Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001). According to a survey in Folio, a leading trade publication, 54.5 percent of the sampled magazine professionals feel that the integration of print and digital media is a top issue facing the industry second only to circulation economics (Folio, 2001). The purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century. The goal is to provide context and perspective on the increasing penetration of the World Wide Web and its effect on magazine reading habits. Some of industry’s major developments and trends are examined in light of the introductions of new mass media. Within the framework of this paper, new media are considered as new forms of mass communication or entertainment media that threaten to take readers or advertisers away from traditional magazines. The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet. Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977). Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry. For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers. Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).Each time a new medium is introduced it threatens to displace existing media to some degree or another (Dimmick and Rothenbuhler, 1984b).

Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch. However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli:2010). Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organisational policy and the target audiences.

It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazines (various themes and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Gallant. It combines topics form court events, theatre and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe the first women’s magazine, Ladies Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. Name “magazine” appeared in the year 1731 with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The name magazine, which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travellers and sailors. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine.

After the repeal of the tax, number of ads did not increase since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazines as one of the world’s leading media. With technological progress, increased circulation, and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.

According to statistics from the end of 2013, subscription levels for 22 of the top 25 magazines declined from 2012 to 2013, with just Time, Glamour and ESPN The Magazine gaining numbers. DEFINITION OF MAGAZINE Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications that are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIGERIAN PRESS This commenced with the printing media on 3rd December 1859 by a Christian Missionary named Reverend Henry Townsend who established the first Newspaper in Nigeria called “Iwe Iroyin fun awon Egba ati Yoruba” which literary means“A Newspaper for the Egba and Yoruba Nations”{Ese Malemi, 1999} in today’s Abeokuta the Capitalcity of Ogun State to promote literacy and build up elites among the then EGBAs and not with current serving political motive but as a matter of fact succeeding Newspapers choose contrary with an indelible footprint as far as political history of Nigeria is concerned. The demise of ‘Iwe Iroyin’ later resulted to the emergence of other Newspapers like Anglo-African, Lagos Time and Gold Coast Advertiser, Lagos Observer, The Eagle and Lagos Critic, The Mirror, The Nigerian Chronicle, The Lagos Standard, Lagos Weekly Record, African Messenger, The West African Pilot, Nigerian Tribune {Reuben Abati, 1998}. The Press which is the bone of contention here makes judicious use of the institution to enhance nationalist struggle which later extend to different dispensation that we have been as well as different military era and currently democratic dispensation of ours which as a matter of fact; not a Child play. Men of the press were humiliated and victimized which even worst during Military era with slighted differentiation during Civilian era. Despite the above, the institution and its men were determined, as a result of which they faced the different challenges created by the political arena which make them to deserve our kudos. It is undisputable fact that given kudos to men of the press and the institution at large does not mean that 100% success were recorded by them because of the imperfect nature that is peculiar to human being coupled with the presence of some Shaft among them but determined members among them make it necessary.

In the mid-19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class.This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax all up to 1853. After the repeal of the tax, number of ads did not increase since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest magazine did not publish ads until 1955).

Magazines shape our lives, telling us what to wear, what to eat, what to think about ourselves and the world around us. Although this is the age of the Internet, we continue to enjoy magazines, admire their pages, editorials, headlines. According to British philosopher Francis Bacos, the printing press was one of three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”. Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to be painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass-produced for the first time in human history. Within a century of its advent, the printing press was being used to print pamphlets, almanacs and newsletters in addition to Bibles and religious materials.In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality. In 1973 it became a monthly publication and underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes to respond to changes in the lifestyles of its target audience. Anna Wintour is the current chief in editor. It has other publications by the name Vogue, British editionand Men’s Vogue.In 2007,magazine drew criticism from the anti-smoking group, “Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids“, for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine. The 1700s ushered in a time of increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Society’s hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple. English printers produced three essay magazines: Daniel Defoe’s The Review (published 1704-13); Sir Richard Steele’s The Tatler (published 1709-11); and Addison and Steele’s The Spectator (published 1711-12). Since the periodicals were published several times a week, they resembled our modern newspapers. However, their content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The Review published opinionated essays about national and international event. In 1731, an Englishman named Edward Cave published a periodical called The Gentleman’s Magazine. He invented the word “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant storehouse. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in.

He invented the word “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant storehouse. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in. His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments: he coined the term “magazine,” and he was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication. The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distances. Early magazines were often bought at newsstands. Gradually, however, most companies began distributing their magazines by subscription. A subscription guaranteed that the subscriber would receive each new issue of the publication. Today, people can buy magazines on a per-issue basis or by subscription. Some magazines are given away for free, such as in-flight airline magazines. Many modern magazines come with a digital component that qualifies them for additional online content. In 1888, National Geographic Magazine was founded. The publication was filled with scientific content and colourful photos. Some of the magazine’s early revenue was used to fund scientific expeditions and endeavours. But then there were magazines which were able to catch the reader’s nerves and their subscription graph rose as the time passes. Here we present the Top 9 fashion magazines of the world and the story behind their global success. Vogue was founded as a bimonthly publication by Arthur Baldwin Tenure in 1892. When he died in 1909, Condé Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication. In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality. Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four colour, text based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology. Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001). According to a survey in Folio, a leading trade publication, 54.5 percent of the sampled magazine professionals feel that the integration of print and digital media is a top issue facing the industry second only to circulation economics (Folio, 2001).

In the past decade, the magazine industry has an incredible roller-coaster ride, from the boom of the indie publishing to the bust of print’s web-induced slow and steady demise. Michael Bojkowski of the excellent LineFeed has just released Decadism: Magazines 2000-2009- a brilliant and ambitious effort to distill 5 million minutes of magazine publishing into a 50-minute history. Bojkowskideives into the most compelling depths of the print world, from what drives innovation (technology is the brainer guess, but there’s also a surprising layer of environmental concerns), to what factors make a magazine succeed or fail, to how audience fragmentation Robin-Hooded readership, eroding big-name titles while allowing smaller, nicher, independent ones to flourish. He highlights a handful of landmark publications, including a few of our favourite titles today. We have to preface this by saying that digitizing print is insufficient and misguided. Trying to appropriate contend designed with one medium in mind for consumption in another, guided by entirely different reading behaviours, is like listening to an organ music concert on you iPod. You still hear the sound and get the main message, but all of its quality, authenticity and allure are lost. Still, it has a certain archival value that we can’t overlook the heritage of a medium is essential to crafting its future. In the past couple of years, we’ve seen some of the most culturally significant magazines release digital archives in one form or another. In 2008, LIFE partnered with Google to release one of the world’s largest and richest photographic archives. Last month, Popular Science made 137 years of its archives available online. And every issue of SPIN magazine is available on Google Books. The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet. Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977).
Today, we’ll try to contextualize all this by looking at the past, present and future of magazine publishing from three different angles, exploring everything from the digitization of print archives, to the emergence of niche, indie titles, to the publishing potential of the iPad. Ipad is a great tool, and it brings new possibilities in magazine production for sure, but it cannot replace that feeling of paper between your fingers. That smells of freshly printed pages. There will always be a need for printed magazines.

Magazines shape our lives, telling us what to wear, what to eat, what to think about ourselves and the world around us. Although this is the age of the Internet, we continue to enjoy magazines, admire their pages, editorials, headlines. The visual telling of stories collects vintage magazine covers, ads, maps, photographs, illustrations and other print ephemera, covering everything from fashion to early data visualization. While digitization is obviously not the answer to print’s relationship with web platforms, it’s a potent antidote to one of the web’s biggest plagues: Its ephemeral nature and the burying of excellent older content in this culture of immediacy and compulsive correctness. It’s no secret the iPad has been profusely drooled on by the magazine industry, with print publishers hailing it as a silver bullet that will save their business and do their laundry in the process. Which it may be, but only if used in a smart way that harnesses its power to offer a more seamless and intuitive curatorial experience, rather than merely its techno-bling potential. Here are a handful of the better-conceived efforts to appropriate the iPad as a keeper of magazines’ fascination.

There will always be a need for printed magazines. Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry. For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers. Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).

The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008). In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s. It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria. Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch. However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli: 2010). Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media.

First publication, which could be called a magazine, was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience. Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazines (various themes and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
With technological progress, increased circulation, and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish.
Rise of the magazines In the early 20th century appears one of the most important icons in the world of publishing, William Randolph Hearst. As the owner of several newspapers across America, he engages in a merciless battle for readers with his mentor, Joseph Pulitzer. During the Cuban War for Independence, Hearst and Pulitzer published in their newspapers images of tortured and starving Cuban troops. At this moment arises the term yellow journalism, which marks the sensationalist approach to the presentation of events. Hearst expanded his empire to magazine publishing starting with the famous Good Housekeeping, National Geographic and Harper’s Bazaar. Besides Hearst’s magazines, some other important publications appear such as Conde Nast’s Vogue, Vanity Fair and news magazine Time, whose starter Henry Luce is still considered the most influential publisher in history.
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society. Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.

Twen was a provocative magazine for a younger audience, and it consisted of erotic photos and intelligent articles. Its editors wanted to attract new younger generation, who wanted to differentiate from their parents, and in this they succeeded. In the seventies, emerged a new kind of magazine, celebrity magazine. The first issue of People was out in 1974. Since then this kind of magazines has been the most selling one. Those years brought a boom of women’s magazines. One of them was gaining in popularity and it was Cosmopolitan.
Firstly published in 1886 as a family magazine, it was the 60’s that made Cosmopolitan famous. Its editor in chief Helen Gurley Brown refocused the Cosmo as magazine for woman. New Cosmopolitan focused on younger woman and talked openly about sexuality. This model stayed on till today, making Cosmopolitan one of the best-selling women’s magazines. On the other side there were fashion magazines. The most famous of them are Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Their race lasts for more than a century, and now and then there are few new rivals. At the beginning of the 80’s Vanity Fair was reissued. More and more publications appear on newsstands, but also many of them disappear. Among the more successful certainly are British magazines Face and Arena, but both shut down in the 2000’s. In the early 90’s appear specialized magazines for growing cyber generations, and most respected, and to this day the best is Wired.

The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, originally derived from the Arabic makhazin "storehouses". The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd’s England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper.

Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities at great distances.
MAGAZINE IN THE NIGERIA SCENE The 19th century marked the beginning of the printing media in Nigeria precisely in 1846, a missionary Hope Wadell with help of his assistant Samuel Edgerly established the first printing press in Calabar, eastern Nigeria. The Hope Wadell press as the press was named was used for mass production of religious tract and booklets. The bar was raised when a missionary Rev Henry Townsend established another press in Western Nigeria in 1859 "Iwe Irohin" the first newspaper in Nigeria. By mid 80's what can be regarded as evolving printing media industry has taken root, magazines like TSM(The Sunday Time), Newswatch,Tell, Life Style and numerous others was published.

In 1923, Time Magazine made its debut as the first weekly news magazine in the United States. Four years later, in 1927, Warner Bros released the world’s first feature-length taking picture, The Jazz Singer. In 1963, recommendations from the Inc. based on how it delivered magazines led to introduction of zip codes by the United States Post Office. In 1972, Kinney National Company spun off its non-entertainment assets due to a financial scandal over its parking operations and renamed itself Warner Communications Inc.
In 1984, Nigerian journalists Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese and Yakubu Mohammed formed the Newswatch Magazine, and its first edition was distributed on 28th January, 1985. A 1989 description of the magazine said it “changed the format of print journalism in Nigeria and introduced bold, investigative formats to news reporting in Nigeria”. However, in the first few months of the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida who took power in August 1985, the magazine was shamelessly flattering. It printed his face on the cover four times and even criticized “anyone who attempted to make life unpleasant for Babaginda”.

They left that magazine due to low pay and disagreements with senior management, hoping that the new magazine would be more fulfilling. Although the magazine’s founders had high ambitions, they were not initially hostile to the government. However, they were determined to be free of government or political influence.

DeleteWith my little exposure to the frameworks of others and by reading others people's works on the historical development of magazine all over the world using Nigeria as a vital focus, I have got to know that everything which excel and prosper in term of technological advancement has its own historical background dated to an earlier age, and magazine today which has become rampant and sophisticated in term of aesthetic value, price and other essential figures has its trace to the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, who published the first thing to be know as magazine in 1663. Without suppressing and obstructing the fact, I have also got to know the differences between newspaper and magazine and their articles, contents and publications. With my exposure to past works of others with the aim of getting fact, I have also been able to memorize the contribution of magazine into the Nigeria politics most especially the military era.

with my experience and little knowledge about the development of Magazine..... i have come to know that All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception.
HOW IT WAS BEFORE:
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, New watch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like Prime People and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, Prime People appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW
Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.
• buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like Hip Hop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Wedding bells.
• Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like True Love, Genevieve, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
• Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and This Day Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in This Day Newspapers. We also have Four Two for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also Motor Shopper for car dealers and
• Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favorably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
• Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.
PRICE RANGE
Most Nigerian magazines that are of international standard have their cover price set between N500 and N2,500.
GETTING THE MAGAZINES WHILE ABROAD
For some Nigerians abroad who yearn for magazines that are published at home, you can get your relatives and friends to help you get a copy of the magazine of your choice. Most of these magazines also have websites that allow you to subscribe and receive them.

As I have gathered and with the help of some source have the knowledge of development of magazine in Nigeria with the rest of the world as a whole….. I will like to say a long time ago Nigeria didn't have newspapers. Then the colonists came over and brought printing press tech with them. They started printing all kinds of things including newspapers. Then many of the colonists left in the 60s when Nigeria gained its independence but the natives continue to print newspapers and magazines..

QUESTION:
In not more than two pages(times new roman) 12 point 1.15 space. Examine historical development of magazine all over the world with a special focus on Nigeria. Include reference.
ANSWER:
Magazine published throughout the world, find their way onto our major city newsstands racks and back stores, or they come through the mail for the subscription price. In ethnic periodicals is greater than in other communities. These magazines bring a new voice to our culture. A new way of looking at similar issues. So how do American scholars use these periodical in their research? the purpose of this paper is to survey the literature as to the types of metrology used in magazine.
Relative theory use, and suggest a direction for further magazine research.
Historically, there have been two approaches to the study of magazines in terms of form as physical commodities, and the second approach defines magazines as vehicles for ideas, understanding and reader service. The first approach is often forund in our trade publications, the seond is found among our scholars, for the latter often view magazines as agent of socialization and as media for dissemination of popular culture.
If then magazines are seen as reflective of culture, studies should also mirroe that culture. What may be logically presumed is not what my survey suggest that these studies do not provide scholarly information on magazines that is consistent with current norms of our culture. The question then is what types of studies have been performed using international magazines, and what if any are their importance to advancing scholarship in magazine research.

Historically, there have been two approaches to the study of magazines: one approach defines magazines in terms of form as physical commodities, and the second approach defines magazines as vehicles for ideas, understanding, and reader service. The first approach is often found in our trade publications, the second is found among our scholars,
for the latter often view magazines as agents of socialization and as media for dissemination of popular culture. If then magazines are seen as reflective of culture, studies should also mirror that culture. What may be logically presumed is not what my survey of the literature indicates. On the contrary, my survey suggests that these studies do not provide scholarly information on magazines that is consistent with current norms of our culture. The question then is what types of studies have been performed using international magazines, and what, if any, are their importance to advancing scholarship in magazine research.
A limited number of studies have been performed on magazines published outside the United States, and few are accessible to American scholars. This paper will attempt to first describe some of these research studies and their methodologies. Thirty-four studies have been surveyed as representative of world-wide studies during the period 1980-1993. The parameters of the survey are as follows: only studies using periodicals published outside the U.S. are included, with the exception of comparative studies that also include U.S. magazines; dates investigated were 1980 to present; sources of inquiry began with the _Social Science
Index, Humanities Index, Communications Abstracts Journalism Abstracts, Carl Uncover MLA Index, ERIC, Dissertations Abstracts, Paine and Paine's _Magazines: A Bibliography for Their Analysis, with Annotations and Study Guide_; and no studies are included that use U.S. magazines covering foreign events, people, or issues.
The significance of evaluating what has been written on magazines is that it identifies gaps which scholars can begin to fill to provide a better understanding of our global patterns of communication. The scholarly journals have already recognized this pattern of globalization in the case of print news media. It is my view that the scholarship on magazines needs to develop an awareness of corresponding patterns of globalization.
As literacy increases, as radio and TV broadcasts dominate the immediacy of the news, magazines are being forced to adapt their pages to provide in-depth coverage of news events. Magazines confirm and expand what people have heard in other media. Whereas the circulations of daily presses have remained about the same for 10 years, circulations of magazines and startups of magazines have increased. This is not to say there are no problems. Throughout the world, the cost or even availability of newsprint is an important obstacle to magazine production. These difficulties are further compounded by the loss of advertising revenue to radio and TV, the reluctance of the public to pay what a newspaper costs, high illiteracy, lack of printing presses, inaccessible rural areas, and a variety of languages besides the official language. All of these factors contribute negatively to the growth of magazines. However, magazines are highly significant in terms of the reproduction of what has been called consumer culture. They provide a unique combination of pictorial and popular literary expression that is not found in either newspapers or broadcast.

All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception.
HOW IT WAS
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW
Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.
THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
• Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
• Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
• Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
• Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
ANSWER:
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine," on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, ultimately derived from the Arabic: مخازن makhazin ("storehouses") by way of the French language. Wordsmith offers this origin: "Plural of Arabic: مخزن makhzan: storehouse, used figuratively as "storehouse of information" for books, and later to periodicals).The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper.
In 2011, 152 magazines ceased operations and in 2012, 82 magazines were closed down.According to statistics from the end of 2013, subscription levels for 22 of the top 25 magazines declined from 2012 to 2013, with just Time, Glamour and ESPN The Magazine gaining numbers.
WHAT HAVE GAINED:
Sequel to my perousal of other peoples works and views on the historical development of magazines all over the world,I realised that magazine development has been a gradual and effective process that spans accross different geographical locations of the world.

This assignment which enabled me to delve into historical development of magazine, as not only made me know about magazine from inception, but as also enlighten me about how far magazine has gone in the history of print media, made me know what makes magazine distinct from news paper, and how it has influence people's life positively, especially in Nigeria.
ASSIGNMENT
Before the invention of newspapers in the early 17th century, official government bulletins were circulated at times in some centralized empires. The earliest newspapers date to 17th-century Europe when printed periodicals began rapidly to replace the practice of hand-writing newssheets. The emergence of the new media branch has to be seen in close connection with the simultaneous spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives its name. At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born.
The history of print media in Nigeria goes as for back as the 1840s when European missionaries established community newspapers to propagate Christianity. This initiative later gave rise to the establishment of newspaper outfits by the likes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1937. Titled West African Pilot, Zik’s paper pioneered a general protest against the British colonial rule and resulted to the eventual attainment of independence in 1960. This powerful influence manifested by the paper led to the establishment of many newspapers especially in the 1960s.
The New Nigerian Newspaper Limited, with its head office along Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, was established by the then government of the Northern Region on 23rd October, 1964. The first copies of the paper was issued on January 1st 1966. Its initial name was Northern Nigerian Newspapers Limited. But when states were created out of the regions in 1964 it was changed to New Nigerian Newspapers Limited as it is known today.

> The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”.
> Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904.
> HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA
> The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
> In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
> It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
> Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch.
> However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria.
> Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organizational policy and the target audiences.
#COMMENT: I understands that magazine is an offspoot of newspaper and it is designed to meet the need to further investigate, interpret and correlate the news which must have been reported by newspapers.

Magazines published throughout the world find their way onto our major city newsstand racks and bookstores, or they come through the mail for the subscription price Historically, there have been two approaches to the study of magazines: one approach defines magazines in terms of form as physical commodities, and the second approach defines magazines as vehicles for ideas, understanding, and reader service. The first approach is often found in our trade publications, the second is found among our scholars,
for the latter often view magazines as agents of socialization and as media for dissemination of popular
culture. If then magazines are seen as reflective of culture, studies should also mirror that culture. What may
be logically presumed is not what my survey of the literature indicates. On the contrary, my survey suggests that these studies do not provide scholarly information on magazines that is consistent with current norms of our culture. The question then is what types of studies have been performed using international magazines, and what, if any, are their importance to advancing scholarship in magazine research
Before the invention of newspapers in the early 17th century, official government bulletins were circulated at times in some centralized empires. The earliest newspapers date to 17th-century Europe when printed periodicals began rapidly to replace the practice of hand-writing newssheets. The emergence of the new media branch has to be seen in close connection with the simultaneous spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives its name. At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born.
The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, originally derived from the Arabic makhazin "storehouses
The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd’s England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper.

With the popularity and interactivity offered by the Internet and World Wide Web, media organizations see the Web as a medium they must conquer if they are going to survive (Villano, 1999). They have good reason to be concerned. From an historical perspective, whenever a new medium reaches critical mass it threatens to, and does, displace existing media to some degree. For example, the upstart television industry took consumers and advertisers away from the radio industry back in the 1940s and 1950s. The revolution of special–interest niche magazines began back in the early 1970s; the magazine industry reacted to the loss of national advertising and eventual failure of mass circulation, general interest magazines due to the increasing use of television by both consumers and advertisers (Gage, 1982; van Zuilen, 1977).
Today, magazines face competition from Internet–only e–zines, which have virtually no traditional paper, printing, or distribution costs, and are better versed in new media interactivity. Because of this they are able to serve even more specialized vertical communities — a function similar to today’s special interest and trade magazines. Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text–based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four–color, text–based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology.
Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001). According to a survey in Folio, a leading trade publication, 54.5 percent of the sampled magazine professionals feel that the integration of print and digital media is a top issue facing the industry — second only to circulation economics (Folio, 2001).
Purpose
The purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century. The goal is to provide context and perspective on the increasing penetration of the World Wide Web and its effect on magazine reading habits. Some of industry’s major developments and trends are examined in light of the introductions of new mass media. Within the framework of this paper, new media are considered as new forms of mass communication or entertainment media that threaten to take readers or advertisers away from traditional magazines.
The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet. Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977). Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry. For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers. Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).
Each time a new medium is introduced it threatens to displace existing media to some degree or another (Dimmick and Rothenbuhler, 1984b). An historical perspective on both the perceived threats at their introduction, and the general effects of new media on magazines throughout this century will provide a better understanding of the current media landscape.
i realized by this article that the purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD
WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA
All over the world, magazines are used as key
tools to sell ideas, concepts and beliefs. The
Nigerian market for magazines is no exception.
HOW IT WAS
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used
to place emphasis on the information they were
distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality.
From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine
publications could sometimes be difficult to
produce due to the unavailability of advanced
computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were
news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine)
published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the
late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a
group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in
the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft
sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/
true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts,
which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief
Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but
rather catered to many demographics. For
instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women
because of its reports on people of high society.
MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW
Of all the magazines that were published then, only
a handful are still in circulation such as Tell,
Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have
faced some turbulence in the form of government
oppression (as in the cases of Tell and
Newswatch), economic downturn and the
challenges of then-emerging digital technology,
but they still stayed true to their causes.
THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES
NOW
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised
at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are
now industry-based for a group of people. Some
such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer,
published and inserted weekly in ThisDay
Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for
football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports
lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers
and buyers. For the music industry, we have
magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag,
among others. For the wedding business, we have
magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are
specialized for a specific group or class of people.
In this category we have magazines like TrueLove,
Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published
specifically for women, while other magazines, like
Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation
which is mainly a picture magazine geared
towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s
who” of society.
Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines
that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality.
According to investigation, some of these
magazines are taken out of the country for their
printing while those that are printed in the country
mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print.
This explains how magazines published in Nigeria
can favourably compete with any magazine
published in the Western world.
Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff
competition now in the Nigerian magazine market,
pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines
they put on the market are of good artistic quality.
The pictures and texts are arranged to attract
readers.

In 1704 the first English language magazine was published in London by Daniel Defore, the author of Robin Crusoe. It was some years later, 1714 to be exact, that the idea of magazine came to america. Benjamin Franklin was involved and so was Andrew Bradford.
The first really successful magazine in the United States was the Saturday Evening Post, fitst published in 1821. It lasted as a weekly publication until 1969, after which it appeared somewhat sporadically.
Most News Magazine in Nigeria are printed weekly and they consider themselves to be the last vestige of the common man. Many of these magazines contributed immensely to see the end of Millitary rule in Nigeria.

ASSIGNMENT
THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
ANSWER:
The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general- interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the Gentlemen’s magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban” was the first to use the term “magazine” on the analogy of a military storehouse varied material, ultimately derived from the Arabic “Makhazin” (storehouse) by the way French language.
The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantities of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers ad sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance.
In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853.

A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant.

The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals. After the repeal of the tax, number of as did not increased since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest Magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazine as one of the world’s leading media.

THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
ANSWER:
The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general- interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the Gentlemen’s magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban” was the first to use the term “magazine” on the analogy of a military storehouse varied material, ultimately derived from the Arabic “Makhazin” (storehouse) by the way French language.
The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantities of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers ad sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance.
In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853.

Historical Development Of Magazine, All Over The World With A Special Focus On Nigeria.
According to British philosopher Francis Bacon, the printing press was one of the three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”. Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to the painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass_ produced for the first time in human history.
In 1663, German theologian and poet Johann Rist created a periodical called Erbauliche Monaths unterredungen (“edifying monthly discussions”). Widely considered to be one of the earliest examples of modern magazine, the gazette lasted for five years and spanned a myriad of similar journals in England, France and Italy cultured young intellectuals readily devoured the periodicals, which summarized new books and welcomed scholarly articles.
In 1672, the first “periodical amusement” was published. Le Mercure Gallant (later called Mercure de france), was created by French writer and playwright Jean Donneau de vize. The publication contained news, songs and short verses and gossip. Despite being disparaged by other writers of the day for its amusing rather than intellectual content, the periodical became very popular in France. The 1700’s ushered in a time increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Societies hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple English printers produced three essay periodicals that set the stage for modern magazines: Daniel Defoe’s the review (published 1704_13); Sir Richard Steel’s the Tatler (published 1709_11); and Addison and Steel’s the spectator (published 1711_12). Since he periodicals were published several times a week, they resemble our modern newspaper. However, the content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The review published opinionated essays about national and international event. The Tatler and the spectator sought to “evliven” morality with wit, and to temper wit morality”. These two publications influenced the manners and thoughts of the day. These periodicals represented a middle ground between the in-depth research found in books and the quick recaps found in newspapers. They set the stage for h=our concept of the modern magazine. In 1731, and English man named Edward Cave published a periodical called the gentleman magazine. He invented the world “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant store house. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in. His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments he coined the term “magazine”, and was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication.
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the formation they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publication could sometimes be difficult to produce due to unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday magazine) published by the late May Ellen, news watch by late Dele Giwa, and tell which was started by a group of people from news watch. Also popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s were some soft sell magazines, such as hints and at hearts, which were published by kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines are industry-based but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, prime people appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.

The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731 in London is considered to have been the first general interest magazine.
Edward Cave, who edited the gentleman's magazines under the pen name "sylvanus urban" was the first to use the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materials, untimely derived from Arabic ; makhazin (storehouse by way of the French language).

A long time ago, Nigeria didn't have newspaper. Then the colonists came over and brought printing press techniques with them. They started printing all kinds of things including newspaper and magazine in disseminating information to the mass. Then many of the colonists left in the 60's when Nigeria gained independence but the natives continue to print newspaper and magazines.
Magazines in Nigeria are used as key tools to sell ideas, concept and beliefs. The Nigerian market for magazines is no exception.

The term newspaper became common in the 17th century. However, in Germany, publications that we would today consider to be newspaper publications, were appearing as early as the 16th century. They were discernibly newspapers for the following reasons: they were printed, dated, appeared at regular and frequent publication intervals, and included a variety of news items (unlike single item news mentioned above). The first newspaper according to modern definitions was the Strasbourg Relation, in the early 17th century. German newspapers, like avisis, were organized by the location from which they came, and by date. They differed from avisis in because they employed a distinct and highly illustrated title page, and they applied an overall date to each issue.
The emergence of the new media branch was based on the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives it name. Historian Johannes Weber says, "At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born. The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, was the first newspaper.
Other early papers include the Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. of 1618 which was the first to appear in folio- rather than quarto-size. Amsterdam, a center of world trade, quickly became home to newspapers in many languages, often before they were published in their own country.
The first English-language newspaper, Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc., was published in Amsterdam in 1620. A year and a half later, Corante, or weekely newes from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, France and the Low Countreys. was published in England by an "N.B." (generally thought to be either Nathaniel Butter or Nicholas Bourne) and Thomas Archer.
The first newspaper in France was published in 1631, La Gazette (originally published as Gazette de France).
The first newspaper in Portugal, A Gazeta da Restauração, was published in 1641 in Lisbon. The first Spanish newspaper, Gaceta de Madrid, was published in 1661.
Post- och Inrikes Tidningar (founded as Ordinari Post Tijdender) was first published in Sweden in 1645, and is the oldest newspaper still in existence, though it now publishes solely online.
Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, the Netherlands, first published in 1656, is the oldest paper still printed. It was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 when Germany occupied the Netherlands. Since then the Haarlems Dagblad appears with the subtitle Oprechte Haerlemse Courant 1656 and considers itself to be the oldest newspaper still publishing.
Merkuriusz Polski Ordynaryjny was published in Kraków, Poland in 1661.
The first successful English daily, The Daily Courant, was published from 1702 to 1735. The first editor, for 10 days in March 1702, was Elizabeth Mallet, who for years had operated her late husband's printing business.
News was highly selective and often propagandistic. Readers were eager for sensationalism, such as accounts of magic, public executions and disasters; this material did not pose a threat to the state, because it did not pose criticism of the state.

The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general- interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the Gentlemen’s magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban” was the first to use the term “magazine” on the analogy of a military storehouse varied material, ultimately derived from the Arabic “Makhazin” (storehouse) by the way French language.
The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantities of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers ad sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance.
In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853.

After the repeal of the tax, number of as did not increased since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest Magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazine as one of the world’s leading media.
With technological progress, increased circulation and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on, advertising started to flourish.

In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE
The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”.
Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904.
HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA
The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
I learnt about the impact of magazine and the usefulness in the development of the country.

The print media as one of the major media of communication are the most versatile and resilient of all the media of communication. The print media are made up of books, journals, magazines and newspapers and have come a long way in coverage of events in human society.
The word magazine comes from the French word magasin, which means a store house. So just like the meaning of its root word, a magazine –news, features, pictures, cartoons adverts, etc keeps the public informed by providing information on a variety of subject matters- health, politics, education, fashion, sports, and others.
Magazine is an offshoot of newspaper. It is an improvement on newspaper, and it is designed to meet the need to further investigate, interpret and correlate the news which must have been reported by newspapers.

magazine “Miecuire de France”.
Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man
started publishing another magazine
called review in 1904.
The first publication in Nigeria to be
referred to as a magazine was a
government periodical, titled, ”The
Nigerian gassette”, which was
established in 1900.Being a government
medium, it was devoted to analyzing
and interpreting the policies and
activities of the colonial regime. After
the adoption of the Richard constitution
in 1947, the British colonial government
through her public relations department
introduced regular press briefing and
issued news release frequently. It also
published magazines such as the
“Nigerian Review” and the “children
own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed
Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria.
But, by 1970s some Nigerians were
already making in road into magazine
publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris
Okolie, who published NewBreed
magazine. However, Nigerians could
not be said to have develop a
“magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when
Newswatch was established by Messrs
Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu
Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that
magazine started developing large
readership in Nigeria. And this is
because, the founders of Newswatch
already had large readership, when they
were columnist and editors in
newspapers (Daily Times, national
Concord, Sunday Concord and New
Nigerian). The readership which they
have earned overtime as newspapers
editors, took interest in their magazine
and this provided large audience for the
magazine, and thus the “Magazine
cultures”, become a part of the print
media development in Nigeria.
Since the establishment of Newswatch,
other magazines had emerged in the
Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The
Newswatch Magazines are examples.
They are general interest magazines like
Newswatch.
However, some specialized magazines,
concentrating on different areas of
interest are also being published in
Nigeria. Examples are broad street
Journal (a financial publication),
Encomium and city people (soft sells),
and Hints (woman magazine). But the
good news is that the magazine culture
is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media
(Akinsuli: 2010).
Magazines are not daily publication;
they are published weekly, monthly, bi
monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are
attractive and appealing because of
their high production quality. They
come in colourful and glossy
paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss
and the glitter of the print media. The
frequency of magazine is determined by
the organizational policy and the target
audiences.
A magazine style of writing is called
“articles” or features. They are
interesting, anecdotal and helpful
articles which are investigative,
interpretative, analytical and
correlatives. That is, it is a print
medium that does more of news analysis
than mere news reporting. News
reporting is important to a magazine
but focuses on the interpretation and
coverage of past events with wider
perspective. It is an ideal medium of
instruction and information for the
leisurely and critical readers.

From other people's work, I've learnt that magazine publishers before now used to place emphasis on the quality of information they were disseminating and not the aesthetic quality of materials.

All over the world, magazine are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and believes.
Le Mercure Galant was
one of the first printed
publications.
Household Words was
an English weekly
magazine published in
the 1850s by Charles
Dickens.
Gentleman’s
Magazine is the first
publication that was
named magazine.
Beginnings of print magazines
First publication, which could be called a
magazine, was the German Erbauliche
Monaths Unterredungen , released in the year
1663. It was a literary and philosophical
edition and after it was launched several
periodicals with very similar topics were
published, and were intended for an
intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was
mainly written by one author. A publication
similar to today’s magazines (various themes
and several authors) appeared in the year
1672, when French author Jean Donneau de
Vize created Le Mercure Galant . It combines
topics from court events, theater and
literature, and this magazine concept was
copied throughout Europe. The first women’s
magazine, Ladie’s Mercury , was launched in
London in the year 1693. Of course, these
publications in their beginnings were called
periodicals.
Thank the Arabs
Name “magazine” appeared in the year 1731
with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s
Magazine. The name magazine, which comes
from the Arabic word which means the
warehouse, and was used for describing the
place which deposits large quantity of various
goods, while the analogy used to describe a
book that contained many useful information
for travelers and sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but
the costs of every issue were even higher.
Printing cost .
First ad pages
In the mid 19th century readers were not only
the rich ones and magazines become
available to the middle class. This was
beginning for the first family magazines, such
as, Dickens Household Words . During the
19th century, increasing attempts was made
to cut the price of the magazines. At this time
the first ads appeared, but not much because
the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to
1853.
After the repeal of the tax, number of ads did
not increase since many publishers avoided
this type of income (Readers Digest magazine
did not publish ads until 1955). In the late
19th century and with the invention of the
rotary press, the number of printed copies
increases, and the price of the issue is
reduced and thus we enter the century, that
will mark the development of the magazines
as one of the world’s leading media.
With technological progress, increased
circulation, and increasing use of images,
magazines are becoming increasingly
attractive to advertisers. The first advertising
agency was established in 1890 and from that
point on advertising started to flourish Fortune
magazine was published, which originated
from Time business pages. Fortune was
considered the best and most influential
American magazine. Besides heavily
influenced by the world of business, Fortune
is known for being the first high-quality
printed magazine, with pages in full color.
Fortune also invented photo-journalism,
something that would make Life magazine famous.
The
Nigerian market for magazines is no exception.
HOW IT WAS
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used
to place emphasis on the information they were
distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality.
From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine
publications could sometimes be difficult to
produce due to the unavailability of advanced
computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were
news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine)
published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the
late Dele Giwa, and Tell which which was started by a group of people from Newswawatch. Also popular in the late 80's and early 90's.
Magazine publication now of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch and Hints.
With my little research on magazine, and having go through my people's work. Know, I know the genesis of magazine and that the word 'magazine' was coin from Arabic words.

MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW
Of all the magazines that were published then, only handfuls are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.
THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
• Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
• Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
• Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
• Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts,
which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief
Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but
rather catered to many demographics. For
instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women
because of its reports on people of high society.
MAGAZINE PUBLICATIONS NOW
Of all the magazines that were published then, only
a handful are still in circulation such as Tell,

oppression (as in the cases of Tell and

Good Housekeeping is one

Magazine is the most

magazine, and is one of
the oldest in the world,
dating from 1889.
In crazy twenties Henry
Luce publishes Time
magazine, one of the most
important political weeklies.
Rise of the magazines
In the early 20th century appears one of the
most important icons in the world of
publishing, William Randolph Hearst. As the
owner of several newspapers across America,
he engages in a merciless battle for readers
with his mentor, Joseph Pulitzer. During the
Cuban War for Independence, Hearst and
Pulitzer published in their newspapers images
of tortured and starving Cuban troops. At this
moment arises the term yellow journalism,
which marks the sensationalist approach to
the presentation of events.
Hearst expanded his empire to magazine
publishing starting with the famous Good
Housekeeping, Fortune
magazine was published, which originated
from Time business pages. Fortune was
considered the best and most influential
American magazine. Besides heavily
influenced by the world of business, Fortune
is known for being the first high-quality
printed magazine, with pages in full color.
Fortune also invented photo-journalism,
something that would make Life magazine
famous few years later. However, due to
increasing costs of printing the Fortune starts
to lose money, and in the 1948 is redesigned,
both in graphics and in journalistic terms, and
becomes an ordinary business magazine.
She will change the way a
women think
At that time in post WWII Europe, in France,
one person launched a magazine that greatly
changed the way women think, speak, and
perceive themselves. It was Helene Gordon
Lazareff and her Elle (French for “she”)
magazine was launched in 1945. Weekly Elle
instructed French women how to be attractive
and nice. The success of the magazine was
huge and many have identified Helene and
Elle,
One of her talents was that she was able to
find the right person at the right time, she
knew how to create a star. In 1947 Helen
promoted unknown designer Dior and his
New Look, in 1950 she put on the cover, then
unknown Brigitte Bardot, in 1952 she
employed Francoise Giroud, a feminist who
later runs the famous French political weekly
L’Express . In 1958 she promoted the return
of Coco Chanel, although at that time the
French press did not favor famous
Mademoiselle.
Elle in 1965 promoted the futuristic vision in
white by designer Courreges, and from week
to week Elle was written by Simone de
Beauvoir, Marguerite Duras, Colette and
Françoise Dolto. Number of sold copies
reached one million in 1960, when one out of
six French women regularly reads Elle .
In the history of the publishing no editor had
such a lasting impact on its magazine as it
was Helene. She left the magazine in 1972
when the sold circulation was around a
million copies. In the year 1988, when dying
of Alzheimer’s disease, circulation of
Elle dropped to barely 370 000 sold copies.

Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.
Most Nigerian magazines that are of international standard have their cover price set between N500 and N2,500.

QUESTION: THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAGAZINE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
ANSWER:
The first publication which could be called a magazine was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched, several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazine (various theses and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
The Gentleman’s Magazine, first published in1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward cave, who edited The Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to used the term “Magazine”, on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materials, ultimately derived from the Arabic “makhazin” (storehouses) by way of the French language. The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantities of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travelers ad sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distance.
In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class. This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words. During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time, the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax, all up to 1853.
After the repeal of the tax, number of as did not increased since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest Magazine did not publish ads until 1955). In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazine as one of the world’s leading media.
With technological progress, increased circulation and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on, advertising started to flourish.
In 1923, Time Magazine made its debut as the first weekly news magazine in the United States. Four years later, in 1927, Warner Bros released the world’s first feature-length taking picture, The Jazz Singer. In 1963, recommendations from the Inc. based on how it delivered magazines led to introduction of zip codes by the United States Post Office. In 1972, Kinney National Company spun off its non-entertainment assets due to a financial scandal over its parking operations and renamed itself Warner Communications Inc.

According to British philosopher Francis Bacon, the printing press was one of the three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”. Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to the painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass_ produced for the first time in human history.
In 1663, German theologian and poet Johann Rist created a periodical called Erbauliche Monaths unterredungen (“edifying monthly discussions”). Widely considered to be one of the earliest examples of modern magazine, the gazette lasted for five years and spanned a myriad of similar journals in England, France and Italy cultured young intellectuals readily devoured the periodicals, which summarized new books and welcomed scholarly articles.
In 1672, the first “periodical amusement” was published. Le Mercure Gallant (later called Mercure de france), was created by French writer and playwright Jean Donneau de vize. The publication contained news, songs and short verses and gossip. Despite being disparaged by other writers of the day for its amusing rather than intellectual content, the periodical became very popular in France. The 1700’s ushered in a time increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Societies hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple English printers produced three essay periodicals that set the stage for modern magazines: Daniel Defoe’s the review (published 1704_13); Sir Richard Steel’s the Tatler (published 1709_11); and Addison and Steel’s the spectator (published 1711_12). Since he periodicals were published several times a week, they resemble our modern newspaper. However, the content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The review published opinionated essays about national and international event. The Tatler and the spectator sought to “evliven” morality with wit, and to temper wit morality”. These two publications influenced the manners and thoughts of the day. These periodicals represented a middle ground between the in-depth research found in books and the quick recaps found in newspapers. They set the stage for hour concept of the modern magazine. In 1731, and English man named Edward Cave published a periodical called the gentleman magazine. He invented the world “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant store house. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in. His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments he coined the term “magazine”, and was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication.
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the formation they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publication could sometimes be difficult to produce due to unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday magazine) published by the late May Ellen, news watch by late Dele Giwa, and tell which was started by a group of people from news watch. Also popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s were some soft sell magazines, such as hints and at hearts, which were published by kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines are industry-based but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, prime people appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE
The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”.
Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904.
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine.

Wordsmith offers this origin: "Plural of Arabic: مخزن makhzan: storehouse, used figuratively as "storehouse of information" for books, and later to periodicals)."
The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; it is still published as a daily business newspaper.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA
The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.

In the library technical sense, a "magazine" paginates with each issue starting at page three. Likewise, in the technical sense a "journal" has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus Business Week, which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the Journal of Business Communication, which starts each volume with the winter issue and continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, an example being the Journal of Accountancy. Academic or professional publications that are not peer-reviewed are generally professional magazines. The fact that a publication calls itself a "journal" does not make it a journal in the technical sense. The Wall Street Journal is actually a newspaper.

Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, that are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. (This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and, in various languages although not English, retail stores such as department stores).
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher, printing cost was higher and the number of printed copies could be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine.

As its root, the word “magazine” refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. (This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and in various languages although not English, retail stores such as department stores).
Magazines can be distributed through the mail, through sales by newsstands, bookstores, or other vendors, or through free distribution at selected pick-up locations. The subscription business models for distribution fall into three main categories.
Paid circulation: In this model, the magazine is sold to readers for a price, either on a per-issue basis or by subscription, where an annual fee or monthly price is paid and issues are sent by post to readers.
Non-paid circulation: This means that there is no cover price and issues are given away, for example in street dispensers, airline in-flight magazines, or included with other products or publications.
Controlled circulation: This is the model used by many trade magazines (industry-based periodicals) distributed only to qualifying readers, often for free and determined by some form of survey.
This latter model was widely used before the rise of the World Wide Web and is still employed by some titles.

From an historical perspective, whenever a new medium reaches critical mass it threatens to, and does, displace existing media to some degree. For example, the upstart television industry took consumers and advertisers away from the radio industry back in the 1940s and 1950s.
An historical perspective on both the perceived threats at their introduction, and the general effects of new media on magazines throughout this century will provide a better understanding of the current media landscape.
The revolution of special–interest niche magazines began back in the early 1970s; the magazine industry reacted to the loss of national advertising and eventual failure of mass circulation, general interest magazines due to the increasing use of television by both consumers and advertisers (Gage, 1982; van Zuilen, 1977).
Today, magazines face competition from Internet–only e–zines, which have virtually no traditional paper, printing, or distribution costs, and are better versed in new media interactivity.
Because of this they are able to serve even more specialized vertical communities a function similar to today’s special interest and trade magazines. Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four colour, text based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology.
Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001). According to a survey in Folio, a leading trade publication, 54.5 percent of the sampled magazine professionals feel that the integration of print and digital media is a top issue facing the industry second only to circulation economics (Folio, 2001).
The purpose of this is paper is to provide an historical overview of the positive and negative effects of new mass media introductions on magazine publishing in the United States over the last century.
The goal is to provide context and perspective on the increasing penetration of the World Wide Web and its effect on magazine reading habits. Some of industry’s major developments and trends are examined in light of the introductions of new mass media.
Within the framework of this paper, new media are considered as new forms of mass communication or entertainment media that threaten to take readers or advertisers away from traditional magazines.
The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet.
Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977). Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry.
For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers.
Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).Each time a new medium is introduced it threatens to displace existing media to some degree or another (Dimmick and Rothenbuhler, 1984b).

The first publication to be called “Magazine” was published by Dennis Desallo, a French man. He named his magazine “Miecuire de France”.
Later, Daniel Defoe, an English man started publishing another magazine called review in 1904.
The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, “The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900. Being a government medium, it was devoted to analysing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime.
After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947 the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramol:2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreedmagazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readerhip, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian).
The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editiors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch.
However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli:2010).
Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organisational policy and the target audiences.

First publication, which could be called a magazine, was the German ErbaulicheMonathsUnterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazines (various themes and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Gallant.
It combines topics form court events, theatre and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe the first women’s magazine, Ladies Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
Name “magazine” appeared in the year 1731 with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The name magazine, which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travellers and sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine. Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distances.
In the mid-19th century readers were not only the rich ones and magazines become available to the middle class.This was beginning for the first family magazines, such as Dickens Household Words.
During the 19th century, increasing attempts was made to cut the price of the magazines. At this time the first ads appeared, but not much because the ads were loaded with special tax all up to 1853.
After the repeal of the tax, number of ads did not increase since many publishers avoided this type of income (Readers Digest magazine did not publish ads until 1955).
In the late 19th century and with the invention of the rotary press, the number of printed copies increases, and the price of the issue is reduced and thus we enter the century that will mark the development of the magazines as one of the world’s leading media.
With technological progress, increased circulation, and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish.

HISTORY OF MAGAZINE IN NIGERIA
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT NIGERIAN MAGAZINES NOW
Visiting any newsstand now, you will be surprised at the array of magazines that we have in Nigeria.
• Industry-Based: Most magazines in Nigeria are now industry-based for a group of people. Some such magazines include ESQ and ThisDay Lawyer, published and inserted weekly in ThisDay Newspapers. We also have FourFourTwo for football and Complete Sport for athletes and sports lovers. There is also MotorShopper for car dealers and buyers. For the music industry, we have magazines like HipHop World, Blast and Swag, among others. For the wedding business, we have magazines like Wedding Affairs and Weddingbells.
• Specialized: Many magazines in Nigeria are specialized for a specific group or class of people. In this category we have magazines like TrueLove, Genevive, Cosmo, TW (Today’s Woman) published specifically for women, while other magazines, like Mode Men, are for men. There is also Ovation which is mainly a picture magazine geared towards parties and ceremonies of the “who’s who” of society.
• Quality of Production: Almost all the magazines that are produced in Nigeria now are top quality. According to investigation, some of these magazines are taken out of the country for their printing while those that are printed in the country mainly use Direct Imaging (DI) technology to print. This explains how magazines published in Nigeria can favourably compete with any magazine published in the Western world.
• Professional Aesthetic Display: There is stiff competition now in the Nigerian magazine market, pressuring editors to ensure that the magazines they put on the market are of good artistic quality. The pictures and texts are arranged to attract readers.

DEFINITION OF MAGAZINE
Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications that are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content.
THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIGERIAN PRESS
This commenced with the printing media on 3rd December 1859 by a Christian Missionary named Reverend Henry Townsend who established the first Newspaper in Nigeria called “Iwe Iroyin fun awon Egba ati Yoruba” which literary means“A Newspaper for the Egba and Yoruba Nations”{Ese Malemi, 1999} in today’s Abeokuta the Capitalcity of Ogun State to promote literacy and build up elites among the then EGBAs and not with current serving political motive but as a matter of fact succeeding Newspapers choose contrary with an indelible footprint as far as political history of Nigeria is concerned. The demise of ‘Iwe Iroyin’ later resulted to the emergence of other Newspapers like Anglo-African, Lagos Time and Gold Coast Advertiser, Lagos Observer, The Eagle and Lagos Critic, The Mirror, The Nigerian Chronicle, The Lagos Standard, Lagos Weekly Record, African Messenger, The West African Pilot, Nigerian Tribune {Reuben Abati, 1998}.
The Press which is the bone of contention here makes judicious use of the institution to enhance nationalist struggle which later extend to different dispensation that we have been as well as different military era and currently democratic dispensation of ours which as a matter of fact; not a Child play. Men of the press were humiliated and victimized which even worst during Military era with slighted differentiation during Civilian era. Despite the above, the institution and its men were determined, as a result of which they faced the different challenges created by the political arena which make them to deserve our kudos. It is undisputable fact that given kudos to men of the press and the institution at large does not mean that 100% success were recorded by them because of the imperfect nature that is peculiar to human being coupled with the presence of some Shaft among them but determined members among them make it necessary.

A magazine style of writing is called “articles” or features. They are interesting, anecdotal and helpful articles which are investigative, interpretative, analytical and correlatives. That is, it is print medium that does more of news analysis than mere news reporting.
In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality.
In 1973 it became a monthly publication and underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes to respond to changes in the lifestyles of its target audience.Anna Wintour is the current chief in editor.

According to British philosopher Francis Bacos, the printing press was one of three inventions that “changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world”.
Prior to the invention of the printing press, books had to be painstakingly copied by hand. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, he created a way for knowledge to be mass-produced for the first time in human history. Within a century of its advent, the printing press was being used to print pamphlets, almanacs and newsletters in addition to Bibles and religious materials.In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality.
In 1973 it became a monthly publication and underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes to respond to changes in the lifestyles of its target audience. Anna Wintour is the current chief in editor.
It has other publications by the name Vogue, British editionand Men’s Vogue.In 2007,magazine drew criticism from the anti-smoking group, “Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids“, for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine.
The 1700s ushered in a time of increased literacy and intellectual prowess, especially among women. Society’s hunger for knowledge enabled magazines to become a popular cultural staple.
English printers produced three essay magazines: Daniel Defoe’s The Review (published 1704-13); Sir Richard Steele’s The Tatler (published 1709-11); and Addison and Steele’s The Spectator (published 1711-12).
Since the periodicals were published several times a week, they resembled our modern newspapers. However, their content was more similar to that of modern magazines. The Review published opinionated essays about national and international event.
In 1731, an Englishman named Edward Cave published a periodical called The Gentleman’s Magazine. He invented the word “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant storehouse. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in.

In 1731, an Englishman named Edward Cave published a periodical called The Gentleman’s Magazine. He invented the word “magazine” from the Arabic word makhazin, which meant storehouse. Cave’s goal was to create a magazine that the general public would be interested in.
His publication contained everything from essays and poems to stories and political musings. Cave achieved two noteworthy accomplishments: he coined the term “magazine,” and he was the first publisher to successfully fashion a wide-ranging publication.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine.
Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distances.
Early magazines were often bought at newsstands. Gradually, however, most companies began distributing their magazines by subscription. A subscription guaranteed that the subscriber would receive each new issue of the publication.
Today, people can buy magazines on a per-issue basis or by subscription. Some magazines are given away for free, such as in-flight airline magazines. Many modern magazines come with a digital component that qualifies them for additional online content.
In 1888, National Geographic Magazine was founded. The publication was filled with scientific content and colourful photos. Some of the magazine’s early revenue was used to fund scientific expeditions and endeavours.
But then there were magazines which were able to catch the reader’s nerves and their subscription graph rose as the time passes. Here we present the Top 9 fashion magazines of the world and the story behind their global success.
Vogue was founded as a bimonthly publication by Arthur Baldwin Tenure in 1892. When he died in 1909, Condé Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication.
In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality.
Magazines also face the television and radio industries’ entry into the text based medium now available through the Internet. In sum, the four colour, text based medium that magazines used to “own” has in many ways become available to virtually anyone with Web technology.
Meanwhile, magazine publishers are trying to find ways to best capitalize on the Internet without cannibalizing their own readers and advertisers (Marlatt, 2001; Woodard, 2001).

In the past decade, the magazine industry has an incredible roller-coaster ride, from the boom of the indie publishing to the bust of print’s web-induced slow and steady demise.
Michael Bojkowski of the excellent LineFeed has just released Decadism: Magazines 2000-2009- a brilliant and ambitious effort to distill 5 million minutes of magazine publishing into a 50-minute history.
Bojkowskideives into the most compelling depths of the print world, from what drives innovation (technology is the brainer guess, but there’s also a surprising layer of environmental concerns), to what factors make a magazine succeed or fail, to how audience fragmentation Robin-Hooded readership, eroding big-name titles while allowing smaller, nicher, independent ones to flourish.
He highlights a handful of landmark publications, including a few of our favourite titles today.
We have to preface this by saying that digitizing print is insufficient and misguided. Trying to appropriate contend designed with one medium in mind for consumption in another, guided by entirely different reading behaviours, is like listening to an organ music concert on you iPod.
You still hear the sound and get the main message, but all of its quality, authenticity and allure are lost. Still, it has a certain archival value that we can’t overlook the heritage of a medium is essential to crafting its future.
In the past couple of years, we’ve seen some of the most culturally significant magazines release digital archives in one form or another. In 2008, LIFE partnered with Google to release one of the world’s largest and richest photographic archives.
Last month, Popular Science made 137 years of its archives available online. And every issue of SPIN magazine is available on Google Books.
The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet.
Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977).
Today, we’ll try to contextualize all this by looking at the past, present and future of magazine publishing from three different angles, exploring everything from the digitization of print archives, to the emergence of niche, indie titles, to the publishing potential of the iPad.
Ipad is a great tool, and it brings new possibilities in magazine production for sure, but it cannot replace that feeling of paper between your fingers. That smells of freshly printed pages. There will always be a need for printed magazines.

While digitization is obviously not the answer to print’s relationship with web platforms, it’s a potent antidote to one of the web’s biggest plagues: Its ephemeral nature and the burying of excellent older content in this culture of immediacy and compulsive correctness.
It’s no secret the iPad has been profusely drooled on by the magazine industry, with print publishers hailing it as a silver bullet that will save their business and do their laundry in the process.
Which it may be, but only if used in a smart way that harnesses its power to offer a more seamless and intuitive curatorial experience, rather than merely its techno-bling potential. Here are a handful of the better-conceived efforts to appropriate the iPad as a keeper of magazines’ fascination.
Today, we’ll try to contextualize all this by looking at the past, present and future of magazine publishing from three different angles, exploring everything from the digitization of print archives, to the emergence of niche, indie titles, to the publishing potential of the iPad.
Ipad is a great tool, and it brings new possibilities in magazine production for sure, but it cannot replace that feeling of paper between your fingers. That smells of freshly printed pages. There will always be a need for printed magazines.
Conversely, the births of other new media have had positive effects on the magazine industry. For example, the growing penetration and popularity of the personal computer during the 1980s motivated millions of information–hungry readers and special–interest advertisers.
Each introduction of a new brand of personal computer or even model number was followed immediately (or concurrently) by the launch of several competitive magazine titles in the 1980s (Maryles, 1983; New York Times, 1983).

Some have predicted the death of the magazines, just like they have predicted the death of the newspapers died, and neither will the magazines.
There will still be printed magazines, no matter how popular tablet editions are. Yes, the numbers will drop but they will never die.
That is, it is print medium that does more of news analysis than mere news reporting.News reporting is important to a magazine but focuses on the interpretation and coverage of past events with wider perspective.
It is an ideal medium of instruction and information for the leisurely and critical readers.
Name “magazine” appeared in the year 1731 with the occurrence of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The name magazine, which comes from the Arabic word which means the warehouse, and was used for describing the place which deposits large quantity of various goods, while the analogy used to describe a book that contained many useful information for travellers and sailors.
The success of the magazine was great, but the costs of every issue were even higher. Printing cost was high, and the number of printed copies could not be greater than one hundred thousand, because it was technically impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through the machine.
Distribution was also a big problem because it was difficult to move large quantities of magazines at great distances.
Most Nigerian magazines that are of international standard have their cover price set between N500 and N2, 500.Most of these magazines also have websites that allow you to subscribe and receive them.That smells of freshly printed pages. There will always be a need for printed magazines.
Is there anything nicer than to come home after a hard day’s work, put on slippers, sit back in a sofa and read a favourite magazine that you just grabbed at the local newsstand?
The major media types or groups that have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century include film, sound recordings, radio, television, personal computers, video cassettes, video games, and the Internet.
Some of these media introductions have had major negative impacts on magazines; for example, television “stole” readers and advertisers that resulted in the eventual extinction of general interest, mass circulation magazines in the late 1960s and early 1970s (van Zuilen, 1977).

But then there were magazines which were able to catch the reader’s nerves and their subscription graph rose as the time passes. Here we present the Top 9 fashion magazines of the world and the story behind their global success.
Today, people can buy magazines on a per-issue basis or by subscription. Some magazines are given away for free, such as in-flight airline magazines. Many modern magazines come with a digital component that qualifies them for additional online content.
Early magazines were often bought at newsstands. Gradually, however, most companies began distributing their magazines by subscription. A subscription guaranteed that the subscriber would receive each new issue of the publication.
In 1973 it became a monthly publication and underwent extensive editorial and stylistic changes to respond to changes in the lifestyles of its target audience. Anna Wintour is the current chief in editor.
It has other publications by the name Vogue, British editionand Men’s Vogue.In 2007, magazine drew criticism from the anti-smoking group, “Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids“, for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine.

Besides Hearst’s magazines some other important publications appear such as Conde Nast’s Vogue, Vanity Fair and news magazine Time, whose starter Henry Luce is still considered the most influential publisher in history.
Although Luce launched Time, he was not a visionary and he did not guide the magazine. He actually stole the idea for the first political weekly from his colleague at Yale, Britton Hadden.

Gentleman’s Magazine is the first publication that was named magazine.
The word magazine comes from the French word magasin, which means a store house. So just like the meaning of its root word, a magazine news, features, pictures, cartoons adverts, etc. keeps the public informed by providing information on a variety of subject matters-health, politics, education, fashion, sports, and others.
There have been hundreds of thousands of magazines which were published in last centuries since the first magazine The Gentleman’s magazine rolled out in 1731 in London. Since then many of them mesmerized its readers and stayed in the business for a longer period whereas many discontinued because of lack of content and numbness.
But then there were magazines which were able to catch the reader’s nerves and their subscription graph rose as the time passes. Here we present the Top 9 fashion magazines of the world and the story behind their global success.
Vogue was founded as a bimonthly publication by Arthur Baldwin Tenure in 1892. When he died in 1909, Condé Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication.
In1960 the magazine began to appeal the youth focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features openly discussing sexuality.

The Gentleman’s Magazine is published by Edward Cave in England. Intended to entertain with essays, stories, poems and political commentary. Closed 1914. Often regarded as the first modern magazine. Some issues are available online at the Internet Library of Early Journals.
Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary credits Edward Cave with coining ‘magazine’ (a storehouse or arsenal) in its modern sense: ‘Of late this word has signified a miscellaneous pamphlet, from a periodical miscellany named the Gentleman’s Magazine, by Edward Cave’.

The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government
periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a
government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and
activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947,
the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced
regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines
such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by
1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of
them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians
could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray
Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large
readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had
large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times,
national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they
have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this
provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become
a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian
publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general
interest magazines like Newswatch.
However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest
are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial
publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But
the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media
(Akinsuli: 2010).
Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly,
or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production
quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and
the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the
organizational policy and the target audiences.
A magazine style of writing is called “articles” or features. They are interesting,
anecdotal and helpful articles which are investigative, interpretative, analytical and
correlatives. That is, it is a print medium that does more of news analysis than mere
news reporting. News reporting is important to a magazine but focuses on the
interpretation and coverage of past events with wider perspective. It is an ideal
medium of instruction and information for the leisurely and critical readers

First publication, which could be called a magazine, was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, released in the year 1663. It was a literary and philosophical edition and after it was launched several periodicals with very similar topics were published, and were intended for an intellectual audience.
Thematic scope was very narrow, and it was mainly written by one author. A publication similar to today’s magazines (various themes and several authors) appeared in the year 1672, when French author Jean Donneau de Vize created Le Mercure Galant. It combines topics from court events, theater and literature, and this magazine concept was copied throughout Europe. The first women’s magazine, Ladie’s Mercury, was launched in London in the year 1693. Of course, these publications in their beginnings were called periodicals.
With technological progress, increased circulation, and increasing use of images, magazines are becoming increasingly attractive to advertisers. The first advertising agency was established in 1890 and from that point on advertising started to flourish.
Rise of the magazines
In the early 20th century appears one of the most important icons in the world of publishing, William Randolph Hearst. As the owner of several newspapers across America, he engages in a merciless battle for readers with his mentor, Joseph Pulitzer. During the Cuban War for Independence, Hearst and Pulitzer published in their newspapers images of tortured and starving Cuban troops. At this moment arises the term yellow journalism, which marks the sensationalist approach to the presentation of events.
Hearst expanded his empire to magazine publishing starting with the famous Good Housekeeping, National Geographic and Harper’s Bazaar. Besides Hearst’s magazines, some other important publications appear such as Conde Nast’s Vogue, Vanity Fair and news magazine Time, whose starter Henry Luce is still considered the most influential publisher in history.
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s, magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advanced computer technology. At that time in Nigeria were news magazines like TSM (The Sunday Magazine) published by the late May Ellen, Newswatch by the late Dele Giwa, and Tell which was started by a group of people from Newswatch. Also popular in the late 80’s and the early 90’s were some soft sell magazines like PrimePeople and the lifestyle/true story magazines, such as Hints and Hearts, which were published by Dr. Kachikwu and Chief Godwin, respectively.
Not all these magazines were industry-based, but rather catered to many demographics. For instance, PrimePeople appealed largely to women because of its reports on people of high society.
Of all the magazines that were published then, only a handful are still in circulation such as Tell, Newswatch, and Hints. These magazines have faced some turbulence in the form of government oppression (as in the cases of Tell and Newswatch), economic downturn and the challenges of then-emerging digital technology, but they still stayed true to their causes.

In Germany in 1959 legendary magazine Twen was released. Twen was a provocative magazine for a younger audience, and it consisted of erotic photos and intelligent articles. Its editors wanted to attract new younger generation, who wanted to differentiate from their parents, and in this they succeeded.
In the seventies, emerged a new kind of magazine, celebrity magazine. The first issue of People was out in 1974. Since then this kind of magazines has been the most selling one. Those years brought a boom of women’s magazines. One of them was gaining in popularity and it was Cosmopolitan.
Firstly published in 1886 as a family magazine, it was the 60’s that made Cosmopolitan famous. Its editor in chief Helen Gurley Brown refocused the Cosmo as magazine for woman. New Cosmopolitan focused on younger woman and talked openly about sexuality. This model stayed on till today, making Cosmopolitan one of the best-selling women’s magazines.
On the other side there were fashion magazines. The most famous of them are Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Their race lasts for more than a century, and now and then there are few new rivals. At the beginning of the 80’s Vanity Fair was reissued.
More and more publications appear on newsstands, but also many of them disappear. Among the more successful certainly are British magazines Face and Arena, but both shut down in the 2000’s. In the early 90’s appear specialized magazines for growing cyber generations, and most respected, and to this day the best is Wired.

Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, originally derived from the Arabic makhazin "storehouses".

Magazines are publication, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines). They are generally on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in Germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, In London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus Urban”, was the first to use the term “magazine”, on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, ultimately derived from the Arabic. Makhazin.
The oldest consumer magazine still in print in the Scots Magazine, which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd’s List was founded in Edward Lloyd’s England Coffess shop in 1734, it is still published as a daily business newspaper.
The emergence of the new media branch was based on the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives it name. Historian Johannes Weber says, "At the same time, then, as the printing press in the physical, technological sense was invented, 'the press' in the extended sense of the word also entered the historical stage. The phenomenon of publishing was born. The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, was the first newspaper.
All over the world magazine are used as key tools to sell ideas, concepts and belief. The Nigerian Market for Magazines is no exception.
In years past, magazine publication in Nigeria used to place emphasis on the information they were distributing, not necessarily the aesthetic quality. From the mid-80’s to the 90’s magazine publications could sometimes be difficult to produce due to the unavailability of advance Computer Technology.
