e-magazines

Online glossy publications

E-magazines are digital versions of magazines, distributed electronically rather than in print.

They may be read on computers, tablets, or dedicated apps.

Some replicate the layout of print editions; others are designed specifically for screens.

The term covers both digitized versions of existing publications and magazines that exist only online.
