A magazine can be defined as a written document published periodically (weekly, monthly or quarterly) to provide informations about a particular subject or field. An example is the Marketing News magazine.
Marketing News is an illustrated weekly (magazine) from the American Marketing Association and it covers all aspects of the marketing industry, which is mainly read by academics and people working directly in marketing.
Hence, an illustrated weekly is also known as a magazine.
Additionally, magazine publishers are mainly dependent on adverts posted on their pages to generate revenues for the smooth running of their business.
