Advertising in magazines - without any sort of advertisement magazines would not be read by anyone and if a magazine did not include any sort of advertisement of other businesses then the price of that magazine will be 3-4 times more expensive as the price with advertisements and this is because the magazine will receive some money from advertising other businesses for example mcdonalds could pay KFC to advertise their business.
A magazine with a small circulation is more dependent on advertising than one with a large circulation.
Magazines Aims - It was sold only on screens. A publication revolution. The way it works today is the same way it worked when it first came around in 1991 the vendor's buy it for half the cover price then they sell it to their customers and they earn the difference.

Big people such as politicians listened to them. One of the Big issues aims was to go global, copies were sold in australia, japan korea and south africa etc. The big issue helped many of the poor earn some money as the homeless sold them all around the world
