Magazines

Yesterday in Journalism 1, we learned about magazines. It was really cool to learn how magazines started out as a form of mass media that had something for everyone, considering how many trade and niche marketed magazines there are today.In retrospect, I think that if magazines remained a general mass media outlet, it would be a lot harder to gain information on topics of your interest.I wish we had learned more about trade magazines and niche marketing though. All we really learned about was they innovations that magazines created. Mr. Miller left out a very important piece of information, how did magazines become a niche market?
