Recently, I read Wesley's repsonse to the magazine lecture. She talked about how people don't really read magazines anymore and that people just watch TV or read on their phones. I disagree with that. I think people do read magazines still, but just not as much. Magazines remain around for a long time, I think, because it's not all current events that you must read that day. Magazines don't come out daily, so the articles in them can be kept around and read at different times.
For example, some magazines have recipes or articles on how to get fit. You don't necessarily have to read that right away and then throw it away. Also, you could share the magazine with your friends. That is one thing that Mr. Miller mentioned when talking about magazines and newspapers. There is not just one copy per person. It's usually several people per copy. So you could subscribe to a magazine and then give it to your neighbors to read, which is what my neighbors do. So, magazines may be less popular, but people still definitely read them. They have many advantages over electronic articles and Internet magazines.
