Current affairs magazines contain the latest information on politics and cultural topics. They can be brought as print magazines or viewed online.
Some examples of current affairs publishers are:
- The Spectator
- The Week
- New Statesman
- Private Eye
The cover of a current affair magazine is usually either a political image, an exaggerated image that has something to do with a recent event, or an altered image that often has a deeper meaning.
Current affair magazines and websites often have a variety of articles inside. These cover current important news and events as well as other recent things such as discoveries, inventions, technology, etc. Most websites have a large variety or articles down the side with a few main stories at the top. Some, such as The Week, have a section of daily information about important topics (currently about the coronavirus). Inside the magazine and on the website, the articles are accompanied by images of whatever is being talked about. The size of the image often reflects on the importance of the article e.g a large image of people with masks on as coronavirus is an important and serious topic, then a smaller image of something else less important.
The target audience for most current affair magazines are more mature people such as older teenagers and adults, however, there is a junior version of The Week called "The Week Junior" aimed at younger children and covered less serious but still relevant topics.
A basic post here Billy - there are many more magazines than this. You need some lists - names and according to the audience demographic and age group. Are they all targeted at both genders? What differences are there in price, features, language?
