Magazines are Good Resources

Recently I browsed through some magazines that I never actually took the time out to look at. Surprisingly I learned a lot of interesting things. Southern Living, Better Home and the Columbia Journalism Review. Each magazine had a different approach for its readers, Better Homes, and Southern Living however was kind of the same. Both magazine targeted the adult women audience.

Better Homes did not have any articles but it did include pictures and tips on how to decorate your house for the holidays. It included a a gift guide with great holiday gifts for under the price of $35 and it also has a section of delicious holiday recipes that would be great for the chefs in the family! Southern Living is similar but has a different approach its targeted audience would be for younger and older women. It focuses on mainly southern states such as Mississippi, Texas, South Carolina, etc.  It includes a section of the 5 best cities to travel to during the Christmas Holiday and a section of newly remodeled homes, healthy living tips and beautiful holiday flowers and decorations. But the section that takes my interest the most would have to be the recipes, just like in the Better Homes section. It has dishes, desserts, and snacks! Who needs a cook book when you can just purchase these magazines that have everything you need in it.

Lastly would be the Columbia Journalism Review. This magazine is very thin and seems like it targets other journalists, and people who like to read, probably older adults. It is actually filled with long stories and articles and not that many pictures. I would recommend it for college students pursuing a career in journalism because it did have a lot of resourceful articles in it one that took my interest was “The Bigger Tent” it was an article about the highs and lows of journalism.

To sum everything up, pick up a magazine that you would never normally look at and see how beneficial it may be to you. Their may be plenty of tips, articles and ideas that you could find resourceful!
