Why Do People Read Magazines?

Magazines are a great source of information and entertainment. People who are regular magazine readers tend to be the most informed about the world. The subject matter of magazines varies as much as the world around us.

Besides reading magazines at home, you’ll also find them in hotels, airplanes, offices, salons and just about any place with a waiting room.

Women tend to read magazines more frequently than men. They usually enjoy fashion, beauty, health, celebrity gossip and home-care magazines. Men, however, have their own favorite topics, including sports, technology and business. There are plenty of magazines to meet their interests, too. Regardless of your gender or your interests, there’s a magazine to fill your informational needs and appetite. Frequency of publication is usually weekly or monthly, though there are some bi-monthlies, quarterly and annual magazines.

The local press in New York reported that a German “fetish magazine” named “O” sued one of Oprah’s companies and her publisher, over the sale of Oprah’s magazine bearing the equally-expansive title of “O”. Query if it was really a service mark dispute as opposed to a trademark dispute.
