news magazines

Topical glossy publications

News magazines are periodicals that report and analyze current events, typically published weekly or monthly.

Unlike newspapers, which emphasize breaking news, news magazines offer longer features, investigative pieces, and commentary with more time for reflection: Time, Newsweek, The Economist.

Television news magazines like 60 Minutes apply the same format to broadcast.
