236-450: A female audience, emphasizing the traditional gender roles of the 19th century. Harper's Bazaar was the first to focus exclusively on couture fashion , fashion accessories and textiles. The inclusion of didactic content about housekeeping may have increased the appeal of the magazine for a broader audience of women and men concerned about the frivolity of a fashion magazine. In the 1920s, new magazines appealed to young German women with

295-453: A forum for public arguments by scholars and critical observers. The early periodical predecessors to magazines started to evolve to modern definition in the late 1800s. Works slowly became more specialized and the general discussion or cultural periodicals were forced to adapt to a consumer market which yearned for more localization of issues and events. Mass-circulation magazines became much more common after 1900, some with circulations in

354-441: A long tradition. One of the earliest satirical magazines was Diyojen which was launched in 1869. There are around 20 satirical magazines; the leading ones are Penguen (70,000 weekly circulation), LeMan (50,000) and Uykusuz . Historical examples include Oğuz Aral 's magazine Gırgır (which reached a circulation of 500,000 in the 1970s) and Marko Paşa (launched 1946). Others include L-Manyak and Lombak . Publishing

413-506: A member of the trade (and likelihood of buying, for example, likelihood of having corporate purchasing authority, as determined from job title). This allows a high level of certainty that advertisements will be received by the advertiser's target audience, and it avoids wasted printing and distribution expenses. This latter model was widely used before the rise of the World Wide Web and is still employed by some titles. For example, in

472-485: A monthly record of current events along with entertaining stories, poems, and pictures. The first periodicals to branch out from news were Harper's and The Atlantic , which focused on fostering the arts. Both Harper's and The Atlantic persist to this day, with Harper's being a cultural magazine and The Atlantic focusing mainly on world events. Early publications of Harper's even held famous works such as early publications of Moby Dick or famous events such as

531-643: A new understanding of church-state relationships and the source of political authority. The Moniteur Ottoman was a gazette written in French and first published in 1831 on the order of Mahmud II . It was the first official gazette of the Ottoman Empire , edited by Alexandre Blacque at the expense of the Sublime Porte . Its name perhaps referred to the French newspaper Le Moniteur Universel . It

590-429: A publication calls itself a journal does not make it a journal in the technical sense; The Wall Street Journal is actually a newspaper . The word "magazine" derives from Arabic makhāzin ( مخازن ), the broken plural of makhzan ( مخزن ) meaning "depot, storehouse" (originally military storehouse); that comes to English via Middle French magasin and Italian magazzino . In its original sense,

649-462: A river it is, I hope, unstoppable." There have been nine editors since the Dalesman was founded in 1939.

767-696: Is The Scots Magazine , which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totalling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; and though its online platform is still updated daily it has not been published as a magazine since 2013 after 274 years. Under the Ancien Régime , the most prominent magazines were Mercure de France , Journal des sçavans , founded in 1665 for scientists, and Gazette de France , founded in 1631. Jean Loret

826-850: Is a not-too-serious economic indicator that is sometimes taken seriously by technical analysts. Teesdale Teesdale is a dale , or valley , located principally in County Durham , North East England . It is one of the Durham Dales , which are themselves part of the North Pennines , the northernmost part of the Pennine uplands. The dale is named after its principal river, the Tees , which has its source below Cross Fell (890 m (2,930 ft)) in Cumbria . The upper dale

885-553: Is remote and high, but becomes gentler after it enters County Durham shortly downstream. The dale follows the river's south-easterly course to Barnard Castle , at which point the landscape begins to flatten into the Tees Lowlands. The Cumbrian part of Teesdale was historically divided between Cumberland and Westmorland , and the County Durham area between the former and Yorkshire . Large parts of Teesdale are within

944-598: Is the Old Amos cartoon. The cartoon has been a fixture in Dalesman since May 1953, making Old Amos four years older than fellow northern cartoon character Andy Capp . Just two artists have drawn Old Amos over the last six decades: father and son Rowland and Pete Lindup. Pete carried on immediately after Rowland's death in 1989. Old Amos is a bearded gentleman who dishes out quotable wisdom and advice, often in Yorkshire dialect . Initially called The Yorkshire Dalesman ,

1003-718: The General Magazine and Historical Chronicle . The Pennsylvania Magazine , edited by Thomas Paine , ran only for a short time but was a very influential publication during the Revolutionary War . The final issue containing the text of the Declaration of Independence was published in 1776. In the mid-19th century, monthly magazines gained popularity.

1121-824: The "tweed-clad, pipe-smoking" Scott in the offices of the Craven Herald newspaper in Skipton, shortly before he joined the magazine. Scott's unique greeting was 'Hail to thee, Blithe Spirit'. After working as the editor, Mitchell was awarded the MBE for his services to journalism in Yorkshire and Cumbria. He was admitted by the University of Bradford to the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters. He has also received

1180-540: The Bourbon kings, but all eight ultimately urged support for the new government, putting their appeals in terms of preserving civil order.

1239-597: The Constable books that the TV series Heartbeat was based on, Ashley Jackson , and cartoonists Tony Husband and Karl Dixon . Popular monthly features include Diary of a Yorkshire Farmer's Wife, Signs and Wonders (amusing signs spotted around Yorkshire), Wild Yorkshire, My Best Day Out and Round About the Ridings.

1357-533: The Golden Eagle Award from the Outdoor Writers' and Photographers' Guild, which cited him as one of the founding fathers of outdoor writing. When Mitchell retired in 1988, he was the subject of a Yorkshire Television documentary narrated by playwright Alan Bennett, who concluded the programme by saying: "The Dalesman has proved to be something of a river; it just goes flowing on – and like

1416-667: The North Pennines national landscape , and Upper Teesdale has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest . Parts of the local climate have been scientifically classified as "Sub-Arctic", and snow has sometimes lain on Cross Fell into June. Unusually for the Pennines, rock of igneous origin (the Whin Sill ) contributes to the surface geology and scenery of Upper Teesdale. Around 295 million years ago upwelling magma spread through fissures and between strata in

1475-504: The Plain of York and the high moorlands of Teesdale , no less than the rolling lands of Bowland and the fells and dales of the western Pennines ." A year later, the magazine's title was changed to The Dalesman . By now, the circulation had risen to 13,000 and Scott wrote in March 1948: "It has been a mark of the pleasant friendly bond which has always existed between this magazine and its readers and almost from our first appearance our title

1534-631: The United Kingdom, a number of computer-industry magazines use this model, including Computer Weekly and Computing , and in finance, Waters Magazine . For the global media industry, an example would be VideoAge International . The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen , a literary and philosophy magazine, which was launched in 1663 in Germany. The Gentleman's Magazine , first published in 1741 in London

1593-501: The United States. In 2019, People Magazine ranked second behind ESPN Magazine in total reach with a reported reach of 98.51 million.

These magazines typically cover industry trends and news of interest to professionals in the industry. Subscriptions often come with membership in

1652-592: The Whin Sill was intruded also meets the requirements of some of these plants. Teesdale is famous among naturalists for the "Teesdale Assemblage" of plants found together here that occur widely separated in other locations, abroad or in the British Isles . Part of Upper Teesdale near the Cow Green Reservoir is designated a National Nature Reserve ; it contains the unique Teesdale Violet and

1711-543: The Yorkshire Dales needs no apology. The surprising thing is that Dales lovers should have lacked a magazine for so long." He continued: "It is to serve the interests of this great community that "The Yorkshire Dalesman" has been founded, ending: "On this programme, I offer this first number of 'The Yorkshire Dalesman' for your consideration, pleading only for its many shortcomings that no magazine reaches maturity in its first number." Also writing in that first edition

1770-497: The Yorkshire border on occasion and hobnob with our neighbours." In 1955, the Dalesman outgrew Scott's home, at Fellside, Clapham, and new offices were opened elsewhere in the village. It remained in Clapham until 2000. The magazine is now produced near its original home, in offices at Skipton Castle . The second editor was W. R. ("Bill") Mitchell, who worked with Scott before taking the editor's chair. Mitchell remembers meeting

1888-479: The countryside. It is the biggest selling regional consumer magazine in the UK and Yorkshire's best-selling magazine. The magazine covers the people, landscapes and heritage of Yorkshire. Dalesman covers the whole of Yorkshire, though it has a rural focus that takes in the Yorkshire Dales , North York Moors , Yorkshire Wolds and Yorkshire coast, along with the county capital of York . Each issue contains stories about

1947-542: The earlier Carboniferous Limestone country rock . As it cooled (an event which is believed to have lasted 50 years) the rock contracted and caused itself to split into vertical columns. The heating of the limestone above the rock also caused it to be turned into a crumbly marble known as Sugar Limestone . Economic deposits in Llandovery rocks include soft shales that were previously worked to be used as slate pencils. More recently, Ice Age glacial activity shaped

2006-924: The hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Some passed the million-mark in the 1920s. It was an age of mass media . Because of the rapid expansion of national advertising, the cover price fell sharply to about 10 cents. One cause was the heavy coverage of corruption in politics, local government and big business, especially by Muckrakers. They were journalists who wrote for popular magazines to expose social and political sins and shortcomings. They relied on their own investigative journalism reporting; muckrakers often worked to expose social ills and corporate and political corruption . Muckraking magazines–notably McClure's –took on corporate monopolies and crooked political machines while raising public awareness of chronic urban poverty, unsafe working conditions, and social issues such as child labor . The journalists who specialized in exposing waste, corruption, and scandal operated at

2124-399: The laying of the world's first transatlantic telegraph cable ; however, the majority of early content was trickle down from British events. The development of the magazines stimulated an increase in literary criticism and political debate, moving towards more opinionated pieces from the objective newspapers. The increased time between prints and the greater amount of space to write provided

2183-473: The magazine is sold to readers for a price, either on a per-issue basis or by subscription, where an annual fee or monthly price is paid and issues are sent by post to readers. Paid circulation allows for defined readership statistics. This means that there is no cover price and issues are given away, for example in street dispensers, airline, or included with other products or publications. Because this model involves giving issues away to unspecific populations,

2242-484: The magazine to the entirety of Yorkshire. In March 1947, the editor wrote: "We have decided that from our next number The Yorkshire Dalesman , while giving no less space each month than in the past to the western dales, shall be enlarged to include all the Yorkshire countryside, the moors and dales of north-east Yorkshire, the hills of Cleveland , the cloughs and valleys of the Yorkshire-Lancashire border,

2301-451: The magazine was founded in 1939 by former Leeds journalist Harry J. Scott , with the first edition published in April of that year.

2360-547: The middle and working classes. Periodicals were censored by the central government in Paris . They were not totally quiescent politically—often they criticized Church abuses and bureaucratic ineptitude.

Jean-Paul Marat (1743–1793)

2419-569: The people and places of Yorkshire, articles on crafts, history and nature, alongside photographs and paintings of Yorkshire scenery. Along with factual features and interviews, there are also short stories, puzzles, guided walks, plus numerous jokes and cartoons, some in Yorkshire dialect .

Current regular contributors include "Bard of Barnsley" Ian McMillan , Nicholas Rhea, who wrote

2478-417: The state and local level, like Ray Stannard Baker , George Creel , and Brand Whitlock . Others, including Lincoln Steffens , exposed political corruption in many large cities; Ida Tarbell went after John D. Rockefeller 's Standard Oil Company . Samuel Hopkins Adams in 1905 showed the fraud involved in many patent medicines, Upton Sinclair 's 1906 novel The Jungle gave a horrid portrayal of how meat

2537-568: The statistics only entail the number of issues distributed, and not who reads them. This is the model used by many trade magazines (industry-based periodicals) distributed only to qualifying readers, often for free and determined by some form of survey. Because of costs (e.g., printing and postage) associated with the medium of print, publishers may not distribute free copies to everyone who requests one (unqualified leads); instead, they operate under controlled circulation, deciding who may receive free subscriptions based on each person's qualification as

2596-582: The technical sense a journal has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus, Bloomberg Businessweek , which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the Journal of Business Communication , which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed , for example the Journal of Accountancy . Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally professional magazines . That

2655-847: The transition to digital format, though still printing an annual print edition. Ladies' Home Journal stopped their monthly schedule and home delivery for subscribers to become a quarterly newsstand-only special interest publication. According to statistics from the end of 2013, subscription levels for 22 of the top 25 magazines declined from 2012 to 2013, with just Time , Glamour and ESPN The Magazine gaining numbers. However, by 2024, some titles, notably outdoors magazines, appeared to be growing in popularity. The "seven sisters" of American women's magazines are Ladies' Home Journal , Good Housekeeping , McCall's , Woman's Day , Redbook , Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens . Some magazines, among them Godey's Lady's Book and Harper's Bazaar , were intended exclusively for

2714-406: The valley, and much of the pre-glacial river course is now buried beneath glacial drift . In places this impervious dolerite rock, with shallow soil above it, prevented the growth of scrub or trees: this enabled certain post-glacial Arctic / Alpine plants to survive here when elsewhere as a rule they were overgrown. The Sugar Limestone formed by thermal metamorphism of the limestone into which

2773-461: The views of their readership and thereby were major elements in the changing political culture. For example, there were eight Catholic periodicals in 1830 in Paris. None were officially owned or sponsored by the Church and they reflected a range of opinion among educated Catholics about current issues, such as the 1830 July Revolution that overthrew the Bourbon monarchy. Several were strong supporters of

2832-451: The word "magazine" referred to a storage space or device. In the case of written publication, it refers to a collection of written articles . This explains why magazine publications share the term with storage units for military equipment such as gunpowder , artillery and firearm magazines , and in French and Russian (adopted from French as магазин ), retailers such as department stores . Print magazines can be distributed through

2891-413: Was J. B. Priestley : "I am glad to learn that our beloved Dales are to have their own magazine and I wish the venture the success it deserves". He described his love of Yorkshire's "high hills and grey-green valleys and lovely peace", adding: "So please see that your new magazine fights to keep them all unspoilt." After eight years of publication, Scott bowed to public pressure and expanded the coverage of

2950-458: Was a lead-mining centre, and plentiful traces of this industry can be seen round the adjoining slopes and side-valleys. On the south side of Teesdale is the Bronze Age burial site of Kirkcarrion . The other Durham Dales are on the northern side and to the south is the Yorkshire Dales , Swaledale with Richmond is the closest. The dale was formerly divided into four with the north in

3009-541: Was a very expensive industry in colonial times. Paper and printer's ink were taxed imported goods and their quality was inconsistent. Interstate tariffs and a poor road system hindered distribution, even on a regional scale. Many magazines were launched, most failing within a few editions, but publishers kept trying. Benjamin Franklin is said to have envisioned one of the first magazines of the American colonies in 1741,

After having been edited by former Consul for Denmark " M. Franceschi ", and later on by " Hassuna de Ghiez ", it was lastly edited by Lucien Rouet. However, facing the hostility of embassies, it was closed in the 1840s. Satirical magazines of Turkey have

He disseminated the weekly news of music, dance and Parisian society from 1650 until 1665 in verse, in what he called a gazette burlesque , assembled in three volumes of La Muse historique (1650, 1660, 1665). The French press lagged a generation behind the British, for they catered to the needs of the aristocracy, while the newer British counterparts were oriented toward

3186-615: Was packed, and, also in 1906, David Graham Phillips unleashed a blistering indictment of the U.S. Senate. Roosevelt gave these journalists their nickname when he complained that they were not being helpful by raking up all the muck. According to the Research Department of Statista , closures of magazines outnumbered launches in North America during 2009. Although both figures declined during 2010–2015, launches outnumbered closures in each of those years, sometimes by

3245-613: Was published in 1852. Through the use of advice columns, advertisements , and various publications related to parenting , women's magazines have influenced views of motherhood and child-rearing. Mass-marketed women's magazines have shaped and transformed cultural values related to parenting practices. As such, magazines targeting women and parenthood have exerted power and influence over ideas about motherhood and child-rearing. Religious groups have used magazines for spreading and communicating religious doctrine for over 100 years. Jehovah's Witnesses ' primary magazine, The Watchtower ,

3304-533: Was shortened in conversation, in letters and over bookstall counters to "The Dalesman". "Has The Dalesman come yet?" is a familiar phrase in most Yorkshire villages. It would ill become us, therefore, after such friendly treatment, to insist on our full name and title, and we have decided to accept, gratefully, our readers' choice. From our next issue, which is the first of our tenth year, we shall become simply and plainly The Dalesman. This will imply no change in style or policy. It will give us greater scope to look over

3363-454: Was started by Charles Taze Russell in July 1879 under the title Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence .

3422-456: Was the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave , who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse, the quote being: "a monthly collection, to treasure up as in a magazine". Founded by Herbert Ingram in 1842, The Illustrated London News was the first illustrated weekly news magazine. The oldest consumer magazine still in print

3481-493: Was the most prominent editor. His L'Ami du peuple advocated vigorously for the rights of the lower classes against the enemies of the people Marat hated; it closed when he was assassinated. After 1800 Napoleon reimposed strict censorship. Magazines flourished after Napoleon left in 1815. Most were based in Paris and most emphasized literature, poetry and stories. They served religious, cultural and political communities. In times of political crisis they expressed and helped shape
