The lore of magazines as a window on the world

- Before the internet, magazines were the primary source of information on matters of news, science and culture. Correspondent Jim Axelrod visited a recent exhibition of highlights from one collector's massive library of 83,000 magazines dating back as far as the 1700s, to see how writers and photographers opened the world to the reading public.

1:40 “In the early days, what did you do?” You went to the library.
Reminds me going to the library and viewing the microfilm of newspaper or magazine articles for news storys I was working on.
I miss the journalism magazines brought to the world. Someone would go out and meet with a celebrity, politician or “average Joe,” have a conversation and write about it. Add in photography and suddenly the reader is taken into a new world and experience.
Now, as the collector describes, it’s a few taps of the thumb and a few swipes and information is there… but not necessarily the “human touch” that magazine articles once provided.
This is why I enjoy CBS SM so much.
Anybody remember MAD MAGAZINE ????
Loved it. I think I remember being excited to fold the back page to create a picture. Hmmm
What? Me worry?
That was one of my go to's at the magazine section when my mom would be grocery shopping. I was there for 30-60 minutes alone just hanging out reading...hard to imagine that being acceptable now.

I still love magazines. I read Readers Digest all the time, my only magazine by mail. Use to have more subscriptions, but I am on the Internet a lot.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s. That was the last hurrah for magazines. The internet killed print media. I remember the September issue of Vogue with Naomi Campbell on the cover. It was 800 pages long. The September issue of 2020 was 200 pages long. Magazines are a dying media and i am devastated.
If you have a child that doesn’t like reading books, let them choose a magazine, it keeps them reading.
I loved magazines-still do👍🙏😊But the Internet has ruined everything-including magazine/book reading. 😩📖
Saturday Evening Post made me a published author. Prevention made me the happiest man at my job in my life.
I love airport newsstands and their magazine selections. RIP old newsstands. But magazines are still very much alive and well.
I grew up reading Time, Life, Ebony, Look and Jet magazines.
Me too ! ! Such great memories.
Me too. I am asian.
Great story, brought back memories of reading in many school libraries, doctor and dentist offices! (Ironic that the collector is a doctor.) However, pre-internet, if I needed to learn about something, I didn't go to a magazine, I went to an encyclopedia (usually several to get a range of editorial opinions). Magazines were more like favorite CZcams channels, information in small doses pleasantly presented that would educate and entertain. I remember stopping my subscription to Popular Science when it shifted from well written articles to micro stories geared for readers with shorter attention spans.
My BF from college's dad was a doctor & they would get all the magazines delivered to their house first, then take them into the office after they read them.
OMG Stephen my good friends ex husband, and to think I use to paint his home in beautiful Montclair N.J. my hometown as well from k-12th grade! Amazing showing, congratulations👏!
I collect old LIFE Magazines 👍
My parents used to live in a house that appeared in LIFE. Tracked down a copy on EBay.
Bernard, do they include the monthly LIFE (1978-2000) as well?
My nostalgias: Mademoiselle Magazine, which was geared to the educated young woman. Lear's, Frances Lear's tribute publication to the vital older woman. Highlights for Children, for the developing young mind; I do believe it is still with us!
I remember Lear's. She started that with the enormous divorce settlement she got from Norman.
A good magazine is like a breath of fresh air!!!....
The old Lifes were giant packages of color. Too bad Mad magazine was cancelled as well. In the '70s and '80s peerless humor.
I love magazines
Love Vanity Fair
Still subscribe for almost 20 years now. I love the old school magazine and real paper book.
Vanity Fair is the best and I still subscribe. Also get the New Yorker. ~Elizabeth
It's changed, & not for the better.
I’ve always loved magazines
When I was a kid I bought sci-fi and horror mags...Starlog, Fangora, etc. There are people in my household that would like me to dump them but nah.
I grew up reading Teen magazine and Seventeen. Read Soap Opera Digest and People Magazine. My brother was National Geographic. I haven't picked up, and looked at magazine in a long time. I look at front pages of magazines at Target.
I like magazines still
I think there will continue to be a place for the curated content offered in magazines, whether in print or digital.
Why are they acting like this was hundreds of years ago? Magazines are published everyday.
Agreed-- I wish I could subscribe to more than I have. Can't afford everything.
0:00 My ULTIMATE boo is the cover of Ebony magazine with the purple background. Thanks for posting .🕊🙏🏾💜 0+> ☔
For me, it was "Game Players" and "Electronic Gaming Monthly."
Good choice...
@@larrysouthern5098 Thanks. It's crazy to think that for the price of one of those magazines back then, today one could buy a game or two (or more) on Steam.
Mother Jones is a good magazine, as is The Nation, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, TIME Magazine, Rolling Stone. So many good magazines out there.
The Saturday Evening Post, also. You won't find it on newsstands now because it's not cost effective. It's a bimonthly (6 issues per year) and is a great publication. I recently got my Sept./Oct. '21 issue in fact.
Dear lord
Miss many from the newstands.... very sad when Sports Illustrated fired all their staff photographers.
I'm thinking of subscribing to Comix magazine.
I Missed those Magazines
Yes
Barenes ; Nible still selk them
But
Like he said information fashion etc
Id at our finger tips
They're all ads now.
Wasnt expecting the race card to come. Said Nobody
"The lore," or "the lure"? Hire me, I'm a writer/editor/proofreader.
I had exactly the same question.
"Lore" is used correctly when you consider the context of paper magazines being a part of yesteryear.
Were magazines really about articles of interest and photos? Somewhat. But magazines were just cramed with ads, ads and more ads and advertisements. To buy, buy, and just buy. I don't miss them one bit. But the store shelves are still stocked with them at such huge prices. I wouldn't waste a dime on them, their just one big advertisement, page after page after page. Their nothing but waste, waste, waste that clutters up the mind.
Would anybody give viewpoint on a Shakespeares Novel never once having read it from cover to cover?
But everybody has viewpoint on Islam never once having read Holy Quran from cover to cover?🙏
Same with newspapers except they employ journalists who go to courts and inform us what our politicians are trying to pass as law.

I love magazines but haven't subscribed in years because of all the junk mail lists your name seems to get added to; it drives me crazy.
Wow! Change for the better? I think so.

No honey. You think black people are obsessed with racism. Its you swetheart. Most people know that Harlem was a cultural hot spot for decades and still is to a certain extent today.
