The magazine that we choose is Vanity Fair. This magazine was created by Condé Nast, an American magazine publisher in 1859. The demographic of this magazine is from readers from age 25 – 54. The total readership number for Vanity Fair magazine is 6,934,000. This magazine focuses on these three genre which is fashion news, entertainment and politics. The magazine industry is realizing the change of paradigm in medium and is now transitioning to an online presence. It has utilized the presence of internet to attract a larger audience, even the one who would not necessarily read Vanity Fair. Strategies that Vanity Fair can take to ensure its survival against the online medium is to publish magazine and then update the news and trends online. They need to capitalize on their younger fan base by being active on social media such as Facebook, Instagram to promote their presence. They must also differentiate their content by revealing too much information by their free online social media and instead focus its full content on the physical magazine.

We've covered The Kardashians ad nauseam: whether or not Kim is the new Jeff Koons, that time Kim tried to break the Internet, her Vogue cover, her style, her style again - then came the evolution of Kendall. But now it's time to talk about a different member of the family: the one with the story to tell.
At the time of publication, #CallMeCaitlyn is the number 1 trending organic hashtag on Facebook and Twitter. This hashtag represents a seminal inflection point for the former Bruce Jenner - now re-birthed as Caitlyn - who covers the July issue of Vanity Fair: no longer is he in the process of changing. She and her crucial pronoun have changed.

Caitlyn looks bold and proud and downright gorgeous while wearing a white bodysuit with a brazen pose. Annie Leibovitz' lens captured the smirking Jenner, whose muscular thighs remain a focal point of the shot. They could have been cropped so as to focus on Caitlyn's new bust. However, Jenner's remain a keepsake of her former Olympic life; a tribute to all that she accomplished; a reminder of how closely physical power is connected to mental strength.

The cover broke with a blunt tweet from the Vanity Fair account (possibly perpetuating Twitter's most recent status as the source for breaking news): "Caitlyn Jenner poses for Annie Lebovitz on the cover of Vanity Fair."

Shortly following, VF tweeted a quote by Jenner from the interview that has not yet been released for public consumption: "I'm not doing this to be interesting, I'm doing this to live."

In the minutes that have passed, streams of tweets have been submitted under the hashtag to glowing 140-character reviews. And it's true - Caitlyn looks great. She espouses a level of femininity that many of us struggle to achieve, but of course, that's not the real story. The real story is about bravery. Change. Self-love. Acceptance.

What's equally impressive is Caitlyn's no-bullshit-no-sell-out attitude about her sex change. In lieu of accepting the hefty price tag that could have come with a more commercial cover story, the sense is that the celebrity step-parent of insurmountable Kardashian fame seemingly favored guaranteed intellect, the possibility of feeling understood over whatever financial upswing would have been inferred from the more capitalistically-driven option of reveal, which adds an incredibly dynamic layer to the humanity and vulnerability of Jenner.

But we want to hear what you have to say, too.

Will this cover engage us to think about Caitlyn Jenner in a way that is more emblematic of Vanity Fair's principle and policy (politically, intellectually) than if it were to have debuted on the cover of, say, People Magazine?

Does this turn a new leaf for what we consider to be emblematic of the American Family, of our conception of the American Dynasty, as a reflection of various movements? Consider monumental Vanity Fair covers of the past, like that of The Kennedys or The Clintons, as Emma Hager points out.
- Written by Leandra and Amelia
Is it merely a coincidence that Jenner appears in a white body suit so reminiscent of the style American icon Marilyn Monroe was frequently photographed in, or is it with purpose? This cover was released on June 1. The late Marilyn Monroe's birthday.

Finally, is there something to Caitlyn's name choice? A separation, finally, from the Kardashian klan? You'll note that Caitlyn very loudly, obviously and purposefully does not begin with K.

In 2008, Kuala Lumpur took its place amongst other important global centres including London, New York, Chicago, Mumbai, Sydney and Dubai where citizens have access to their own city's version of Time Out magazine. Time Out has been covering topics from bars to spas and culture to couture for more than 40 years.

Time Out Kuala Lumpur is the most influential magazine to ever hit KL, boasting a readership of over 125,000 affluent, outgoing people who share a love of finding out what's going on and who actively participate in everything that's happening in their city.

In 2009, Time Out KL organised the first Time Out KL Food Awards, in which 20,000 voters chose their favourite restaurants. Today the awards are the biggest private and most honest food awards in Malaysia with hundreds of thousands of KLites voting for their favourite places to eat.

MaxMovie is a South Korean based magazine that highlights on upcoming blockbuster movies and interviews the actors and actresses  that are starring in highly anticipated films. This magazine issues monthly to its readers. This magazine was founded in 2010 and still continues to specialize and highlight on film. It's aim is not only to get to know the people that star in the films but also the people that work behind the scenes on movies and also to connect with upcoming filmmakers. MaxMovie continues to be the leading magazine in film within the South Korean region.

This magazine is both print based and online based. The company also created an app for its readers. The main reason why this magazine is such a success in Korea is because it creates simpler ways for its readers and subscribers to get in touch with the material of the magazine. Constructive criticism for this magazine would be that they should definitely incorporate other languages for a more international audience.

Most mainstream magazines are currently co-existing with the internet. They are coping by utilizing social media such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook; accessing the content their readers are into. This gives their company an opportunity to produce user generated content.
Besides that, magazines have to venture into more original and reader-attracting content that has not been published anywhere else in order to compete with the internet.
For an example, the photo shoot Paper magazine had with Kim Kardashian about her assets and body  image.

This Old House is a magazine, focusing on home how-to, know-how, inspiration and tips for home owners; launched in 1995. It has influenced our taste in decorations and renovating our houses us as readers from different part of the world with different backgrounds.The magazine also has a site that  features how-to projects, inspiration and tips for homeowners.

This Old House is co-existing with both print and digital publishing, as it copes with the evolvement of technology and the drastic shift in the mass interest. A TV show ''Ask This Old House'' and talk show ''This Old House Talk'' were inspired by a similar feature in This Old House Magazine. Indirectly both of the shows attracted the audience to find out more about the content of the shows by buying This Old House magazine.

However they can attract a bigger audience by using pictures from celebrity houses as an inspiration for people because celebrities tend to have a bigger influence on the audience's taste and preferences.

Wan Nur Amni Fatinee (0329605)Basically, Teen Vogue is a U.S. Magazine that emphasizes on the latest fashion trends and the latest news on the celebrities. Let it be gossips or their latest life update. This magazine is aimed specifically at young teens. Although it is a magazine that only focuses on the fashion and entertainment news, it is enough to attract young teens like us to read this magazine as this can impact our daily appearance. As for us, we started to buy makeup supplies at the age of 17 after being influenced by this magazine.

Their first issue was published 13 years ago which was on March 2003. This magazine has inspired young teens to indulge themselves into the fashion world. No matter what, we can not deny the fact that every teenagers out there would want to look presentable in the public eye.  When they read this magazine, their exposure to the fashion world will result in them dressing up according to the latest fashion trends. With that, this will automatically boost up their self-confidence.

As the demand for this magazine increases, the company decided to develop more contents in the magazine such as Beauty, My Life, Wellness and 21 under 21. The Beauty section enables young teens to learn more about makeups, hairstyles and skincare. This section usually focuses more on informative and services articles. For instance, "6 tips to make your foundation look like actual skin".

In our opinion, the magazine industry should tackle the distraction of the internet by posting only half of the story on the online website and the other half on the physical copy. As a result, this will increase the number of readers buying their physical copy in the stores in order to get more details about the specific story.

YG is a local Chinese magazine and was first published in June 1995. It has a total number of 116 pages and it sold over 55000 copies every time the magazine is out. As one of the best-selling lifestyle magazines that connects with the insatiable curiosity of the trend-seeking youngsters, YG is about everything chic in entertainment and trends. It keeps readers in touch with the latest happenings and trendsetting popular culture in Malaysia, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. It also comes with a booklet called Young-Chit-Chat, with highly interactive content such as pen-pal board, celebrity gossip, sensational entertainment updates and many more to quench the thirst of the youngsters. Giving the scoop on the latest happenings, it acts as a platform for readers whom aged below 25 to interact with each other.

For me, I used to read this magazine to connects with the latest trend in Korea. Why Korea? Because I’m a big fan of K-Pop. Other than the K-fashion that boost up my fashion sense, I also get to know the latest happenings in the entertainment industry by reading the magazine. It also has contest for us to win tickets to concerts and movies that really attracts readers.

I personally think that the magazine company should have an online platform because it is more user-friendly and you don’t have to carry something in your hand every time you hang out. For some readers, although it feels good to have a hardcopy of the magazine in their hands, but the fast growing of the Internet has made it more convenient for us to glance through the magazine with live videos and live news anywhere and anytime.

Seventeen is a magazine that made an impact in my life. Seventeen magazine originated from America, more specifically New York, and it is usually read by people with the age ranging from 10 to 21 years old or older. It mostly covers on the entertainment industry as well as life stories. It keeps us up to date.

I would read Galaxie which is a celebrity magazine. Unfortunately, it have been discontinued since December 2013. This magazine is usually read by young adults.

The magazine industry is coping and co-existing with the internet by creating a website to reach out more readers and add more entertainment as it can put more quizzes online for readers to entertain themselves when they are bored. I don't think they should try to compete with the distractions of the internet as the internet allows the company to gain readers from different countries. It is also more convinient for the readers to read the article they desire to read whenever they want and wherever they are.

I seldom read printed magazines now since I can get most of the contents online especially on a social media platform where it’s faster, concrete and packed with satire and memes that help attract my interests. However, there is an online blog magazine that I frequent daily which is the NetizenBuzz.com. Just like its name, it features the translations of Korean news articles in regards to the issues that surround the Korean entertainment sphere with the additional translated highest-rated responses of Korean netizens who comment on these articles. This unique style of sharing news (by featuring the Korean netizens’ views) help the KPop international fans to gain more knowledge on the country’s opinions and views towards certain issues. However, the blog moderator strictly claims that the netizens’ comments do not reflect the majority of the opinions of Koreans. The blog magazine first started in 2012 and has garnered interests from various Kpop fans from around the world.

I think in order to co-exist with the Internet, the traditional magazines have to step up their game by improving their presences among their readers. Most magazines would publish once a month, some even published twice a month which inevitably creates a slow connection between the readers and the magazine. This would fade readers’ interests towards certain magazines as the Internet-era is all about fast news. Other than that, magazines should take up the effort to offer competitions and gifts to their most loyal readers.

It has a global circulation of 10.5 million, making it the largest paid circulation magazine in the world. It is also published in Braile, digital, audio, and a version in large type called Reader's Digest Large Print.

This magazine is enjoyed by both men and women and also read by all ages and social groups. 52% of subscribers are women and 48% men. Their median reader age is 49.7 compared with the median for all adults in the UK of 42.6.

The topics that they normally covered are like health, style, travel, English, life stories, true stories and etc. They still cope with this era full of technology is because most of the things in that magazine are not that popular in Internets. Those people aged 25-34 usually married women who don't have time so during their free times the prefer reading rather then using internet I guess.

They can improve by using more colours and pictures rather then texts alone to attract more young people. they can discuss more interesting topics which normally young people are interested in. They can even increase the size of the magazine and use more attractive stuffs in the fornt cover to attract readers.

I don’t read magazine but the magazine which I remember I have read it only few times is Queen (Taiwan Magazine), is one of the most famous fashion magazine in Taiwan that provides to the female readers. Most of the titles for this magazine is fashion. It teaches the girls how to make up, dress and tell them what is the trend lately.

It doesn’t influence me more because I didn’t read it often. But this magazine has attracted a lot of the female readers to buy it, especially the females between age 17-28. There are professional stylist giving us the most updated trend in this magazine. There are also famous stars talking about their tips about how they take care of their skin, which brand they use.

The readers will like it because it really details about it and it has a lot of beautiful pictures inside.

The magazines that have similarly influenced and impacted me would definitely be the fashion based magazines. One of them would be the i-D magazine.

i-D is a London based magazine founded in 1980. It began as a fanzine to the street style of punk-era. The magazine pioneered the hybrid style of documentary/fashion photography called The Straight Up. i-D is mostly dedicated to fashion, music, art and also youth culture. It has also earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style.

However, i-D magazine managed to capture the attention of young adults aged 18-30, primarily females alongside creative individuals who consider themselves knowledgeable in the fashion, music and art industry.

Aside of that, the "i-D" typographic logo represents a winking smiley. You'll find many models portraying themselves with a wink or closing one of their eyes to be featured on the magazine's front cover. Also followed by their undying editorial contents that attracts the audience.

In my opinion, more magazine industries out there should really come up with multiple social media sites like how i-D has done for their audiences. It would definitely make an improvement to cope with the internet these days. For example, i-D upgraded their background by having multiple pages on the net like Soundcloud and YouTube apart from their official website. As a result to that, it happened to be very appealing to the youngsters as they are able to access into the magazines through different forms of social media.

E-pop was first published in April 22 2005, based in Malaysia. It is a weekly magazine, available in Chinese and Malay version. E-pop covers the entertainment scene mostly in Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea. It is not only informative but also highly interactive, as a platform of connectivity for the reader’s community – aged below 25.

E-pop is packaged with celebrities’ news, juicy celebrity gossips and also fun and exciting contest such as free concert tickets.

For us, as we are big fans of Korea, E-pop has become our first choice when it comes to reading magazine as  we can receive all the entertainment news that are currently happening in Korea. As students, we are so busy with our studies. So, for us to release stress, we will normally read E-pop weekly.

However, many magazines are dealing with the explosion of online-media because most of the news and information online are free of charges, so the consumers no need to spend their money to buy a hardcopy. Besides, online magazines are more user-friendly, this is because nowadays, almost everyone has a smart device, the readers can easily access online to get the fastest information instead of reading a traditional magazine.

To compete with the distraction of the internet, we think that the magazine cover design must be very attractive in order to catch the readers’ attention. Besides, magazines should set up a webpage which they can include live videos of the celebrities, live news and also live games.

1) Reader’s Digest. I read it regularly for 6 months back in my high school senior year. Initially I subscribed it just simply because I wanted to improve my English vocabulary and it really did a good job not only it helps to improve my English but at the same time widen my vision on the world out there.
2) Reader’s Digest is originated from New York, United States. It is an American general-interested family magazine since it includes various topics such as health, technology, travel, true stories and more. They aimed for a large audience which is men and women and all age group as well as various social groups. The readership number reached its peak subscription in 1970s which was 17 million of subscription. Reader's Digest is currently published in 49 editions and 21 languages and is available in over 70 countries, including Slovenia, Croatia, and Romania in 2008.
3) –
4) They could put their effort in designing a eye-catchy pages and content-variety article to catch the attention of audience as well as some exclusive articles that audience can’t really get it easily. They could also put up a suspense post on their online website to get their audience to buy their magazine.

One magazine that has impacted my way of living is Prevention magazine. It is an American lifestyle magazine, which launched in the 1950s and it could be considered as a ‘healthy living guide’ that is targeted towards adults and people who want to lead better lives. The topics that Prevention magazine generally covers are healthy food options, skincare and activities that can improve the longevity of the readers’ lives.

Nowadays, information is easily accessible via the Internet – not being able to find the information that you want is highly unlikely due to the existence of the modern Internet. Even though there are still consumers who purchase magazines, this does not eliminate the fact that the magazine industry is facing a difficult time. As sad at it is to say, the magazine industry might be dying because the Internet is a relatively cheaper and faster option when trying to look for information. Vogue is one of the most recognizable, if not, the most recognizable magazine in the world and the sales of their magazines have dropped by 4.8%.* Magazine companies should try to expand their horizons and make online articles if they haven’t done so already.

For me, TIME Magazine is for people to stay informed on world news, politics, business, finance, health, culture, education, technology and more.
It is a America weekly news magazine published in New York City. It was founded in 1923 and for decades was dominated by Henry Luce, who built a highly profitable stable of magazines.
TIME has the largest circulation for weekly news magazine in the world, and has a readership of 26 million. 20 million of the readers are based in the United States.
With revered publishers and networks facing those extinction, tablet devices play an important role in media. Nowadays, people prefer to update their news and information from tablet devices or even online, internet because they think that's the easiest and fastest way to get the latest informations.People get attract by the headlines, cover and contents. With the exist of the internet, I really encourage traditional magazine should open subscription for readers. For examples, TIME magazine open the monthly subscription for their readers.

For me, not really traditional magazines but online websites which have many articles. My favorite is koreaboo.com. This web portal really keeps me intrigued, it helps my life become more interesting when i read the articles posted on the website. It talks about everything korean, its culture and all that which really fascinates me.

The website provides trending Korean content in English catering to the international K-Pop fans. First launched in 2010, it now has over 8 million readers everyday. The website mainly focuses on the happenings in the entertainment and celebrity industry in Korea. Currently, they included reporting on Korean culture, technology and trending news.

I find online websites which provide news article better than traditional magazines. Due to this is because it has become more convenient to read news everywhere anytime. It is also easily shared around, therefore more and more people become aware of it. Maybe traditional magazines could learn a thing or two from the Internet. What really attracts me is the way articles put their headlines, making you really curious about when they leave the headline description with cliff hangers. One thing good about magazines are their covers. Some are really attractive and outstanding.

Four Four Two is a sports magazine which only emphasize about football and it is also published by Haymarket. Four Four Two magazine are also issued every month and it is also a very famous magazine not only in the UK but around the world too. The magazine got it's name form a football formation 4-4-2 which considered the most basic and trustworthy formation in English football.

Since I'm a football maniac, Four Two magazine have impacted me in my life in terms of sports especially football. The magazine consists of many tips on how to improve your football skills and it also explains the correct ways on how to do football training. Oh the other hand, why I like Four Four Two magazine because it usually keeps me updated about football news, match results and player's opinions about their club that they are playing for.

With the presence of the internet, Four Four Two should use the social media to promote their magazine and they should also consistently issue out a new magazine like once in every two weeks instead of once a month. Doing so can help them to cope even with the presence of the internet.

Top Gear is an automobile magazine which is owned by BBC Worldwide. I am a person who doesn't read magazines but I like looking at cars therefore i find it fun to look at top gear magazines when I have nothing to do. The current top gear magazine content include test drives of new cars, news on new car concepts, letters and comments from readers, major car tests and new car guides. Top Gear is Britain's leading general interest car magazines in sales term. It has distributed over 150000 copies each month in 2012. I may still only be 16 years old but i still find it nice to read top gears even though i still cant drive. Just looking at the new concepts and some super cars I call already feel goosebumps. I would prefer reading top gear magazines through the internet because on the internet i would be able to stream the videos of the test drives of new cars. Strategies that could be added to the internet website could be more videos on the speed of the super cars and maybe some videos showing the engines of the cars to interest readers more by watching the videos.

From Men's Uno we can learnt about the fashion around the world and lifestyle of a man. Men's Uno is from Taiwan and their audience is more on teenagers aged 16-25 from Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In 2012 their readership number reached around 1 million in the world. Men's Uno is about modelling, lifestyle, automotive, fashion, travel and cosmetics.

I think nowadays the electronics magazine is more convenient than old traditional magazine because a lot of magazine is published monthly. So by reading electronic magazine we can get the latest fashion or lifestyle immediately. Magazine should set up a webpage or a pages on social medias such as Facebook or Twitter. The magazine also can cooperate with hottest games company to do advertisement in their games. By the way, it can also have a promo about the magazine. For example, we can use previous magazine that we bought before to get a discount for the upcoming magazine.

Personally, a magazine that despite its rising prices (boo :( ), that I still find worth buying is definitely National Geographic. They successfully put a very humane edge on factual, scientific or historical topics and it blows my mind every single time I pick an issue up.

Famous for its yellow rectangular border, National Geographic, shortened to "NatGeo" (formerly The National Geographic Magazine) is the official magazine of The National Geographic Society. A fairly old magazine that started in the late 1800s and has been continuously been published (monthly) until today, NatGeo writes mostly about world culture, geography and history. Though its circulation has declined, its numbers are still at 6.5 million per month according to The Washington Post. The audience of NatGeo magazine ranges from children (with the publication of NatGeo Kids) to curious teenagers and educated adults seeking to know more about the world.

The content that NatGeo produces is geared towards the Internet without requiring much change. Known for their gorgeous photos and human interest stories, these are both things that already appeal greatly to Internet users, as exhibited in the popularity of Facebook page "Humans of New York". In conjunction with that, NatGeo also regularly curates their online content, usually making it very interactive to pique interest in not just children, but also in adults. They have also began discussing topics deemed taboo or controversial, exposing and talking about relevant pop culture. A good example of this being the June 2015 issue re marijuana and its medical benefits. Despite that, I find NatGeo to be capable of writing with great respect and without sensationalising or exoticising any given topic or culture. I believe that too aids in promoting the longevity of the magazine.

It's hard to provide suggestions for a magazine I admire and find to be great at execution in the age of the Internet, but perhaps NatGeo may benefit from creating more content that focuses on humanities a la VICE - a magazine I'm also fond of, though they have a tendency to be a little trashy or careless with their ways of handling subjects - obsessing with "edginess". NatGeo I believe, can deal with topics more maturely (less clickbaity) and with great authenticity, I believe readers will continue to be loyal. I would reckon an ebook format would also increase subscriptions and lower production prices, making it more accessible to a wider audience.

With beautiful content that more importantly complements each other online and off, the yellow rectangular borders and dramatic images printed on quality glossy papers of National Geographic is unlikely to leave us any time soon.

My type of magazine is a video game magazine that covers the latest games and some PCs and other platforms like consoles (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii & Nintendo 3DS). It has big influence in my life.

Well, I’m not quite fond on knowing its background. The first video game magazine that I read was the “Official Xbox Magazines”. I was like 13 years old, the time when my brother destroyed my PS2 and started to interested in other platforms. The magazine had revealed upcoming games coming to the console and PC. Like “Call of Duty series”, “Halo” and “Battlefield”. This had caught my interest in buying more of this magazines and also some part of the magazine mentioned about PC gaming, which I currently a PC Masterrace. Since my father refused to buy Xbox 360, I decided to use my family PC as a secondary gaming platform.
Anyway, the magazine covers topics about video game development and Xbox consoles. Each volume comes out monthly and comes out somewhere in the end of the month. The main attraction is of course, people who bought the console (Xbox 360).

The magazine also has a potential to became an online magazine. Since the Gamers (people who play video games preferred to be called) preferred to buy and read it online or even reading it on their console while playing their favourite games since the console has online features like "micro-transactions" and pre-orders. I believe that this magazine will be a huge success when it reached its potential.

For now, the online magazine is still in developing, but you can always get more information through their Facebook page. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/oxmuk

P.S. I'm a PC gamer. Deal with it *airhorns intensifies*

I am sure all of us have read a number of magazines at one point in our lives. And there'll always be that one magazine which we like which we will read quite regularly and had, in a way, influenced what we know about the world.

1) So, for each of you, which magazine would it be that had a similar influence and impact in your life?

2) Share with everyone here about what you know about this magazine - the magazine's origins, audience profile, readership numbers, what is the category and genre of topics covered regularly.

3) Even if you don't have a magazine that you like or read regularly, identify a magazine that you have at least read more than once and answer the question above.

4) Lastly, how do you think the magazine industry is learning to cope and co-exist with the Internet? What strategies do you think they should use to compete with the distraction of the Internet?
