History :
Magazines have been around for many years. Of course, they began in a typical fashion, as simply words that were written down to attract customers. The actual history of the magazine can be traced back to the newspaper industry. The newspaper industry wanted to do more in-depth articles and articles that required much more research than the columns that were featured on a daily basis. From time to time, the larger newspapers included a weekly insert section that was smaller and portable which later on lead to monthly stipends. These inserts would include longer stories, in-depth interviews, and of course, photographs. It was in these inserts that the first magazines were born.
