Success of a Magazine is based upon;

Ronald Wolseleyn says in "understanding Magazine"

--Purpose of the magazine
--Market for the magazine
--Standard of living of the potential readers
--Educational and cultural level of the potential readers
--Competitors in the field and their formula
--Tested formulas whether existing formulas have worked
--Climate of of opinion of the public generally and how it might react to the proposed magazine
--The financial horizon or limits set on the formula by the financial condition of the magazine owners.
(if you are bad at cramming like me,you may use these points by writing in paragraph form in your own words)

Reasons behind Failure of a Magazine;

Harlon Logan,a former publisher's consultant in an article "Tomorrow's News Magazines"

--Lack of editorial reasons for existence
--Lack of clearly defined editorial pattern
--Lack of advertising reason for existence
--Lack of realistic budget projections
--Lack of realistic schedule of time required to gain either reader or advertising acceptance
--Lack of knowledge of the magazine filed in general and of the specific competition.
--Lack of accurate information about the persona;which is hired to produce the new magazine

Purpose of Pictures in a Magazine

--To enhance the text in order that the meaning may be clearer,and the reader more interested
--To provide additional information

--To dress up a page

Thanx cateyes.

1)News magazine is a magazine published by a newspaper on weekly basis e.g Sunday magazine.(according to my information but I'm not sure)

2)As you are girl so let's take example of "Kiran Digest".
You will discuss it in detail,e.g
-Editorial
-Hamad
-Naat
-Interview of a celebrity
-writer's kitchen
-novel
-afsanay
-poetry
-Namay meray naam(letter to editor)

In short you will discuss every part of your favourite magazine in detail and will give reasons that make you to consider it as your favourite magazine.
