Men’s and Women’s Magazines: Confronting the Internet

Arts Entertainments

With all the information available on the Internet, there has been a slow decline in newspaper sales, and even a decline in those who receive their news on television, because the Internet has facilitated access to information with the click of a button. However, magazines have been adamant against acquiring electronic information. Maybe it’s because of their sexy and sometimes exotic cover models, maybe it’s because of the celebrities they feature, or maybe it’s because of the trustworthy articles on current and interesting topics that continue to make them attractive. Women’s magazines and men’s magazines in particular have maintained their popularity and seem immune from the Internet coup.

There are several women’s magazines to choose from. There are the glamorous ones that feature makeup tips, advice on what to wear and when to wear it, and how to please your man. These magazines usually have a beautiful woman on the cover or a famous movie star. Two of the most popular of these types are Cosmopolitan and Vogue. There are other magazines geared toward women that include parenting tips, recipes, and general advice on important topics. These include Women’s Health, Redbook, and Parents. There are still many others that cater to the interests of a particular population of women, such as Bride’s and Runner’s World.

When it comes to men’s magazines, the options are equally plentiful and diverse. For sports enthusiasts there is Sports Illustrated and Golf Digest. For those interested in cars or motorcycles there are Popular Mechanics and Car and Driver. For the more sophisticated man interested in current news and contemporary features, there are GQ, Esquire and Maxim. Of course, some of these posts come with their fair share of beautiful women on the cover, or as tantalizing center pages.

With all these options in women’s magazines and men’s magazines, it sometimes becomes expensive to regularly buy your favorites at the cover price. Therefore, it is much more beneficial for your pocket to look for regular monthly subscriptions that offer great savings. There are many sites online that offer more than eighty percent off the cover price when you sign up for an annual subscription to any magazine of your choice. Not only are you getting substantial savings, but you won’t miss out on any editions that can become a collector’s item.
