Magazine of The Day - Sports Illustrated

Sports Illustrated magazine is the largest weekly American Sports magazine owned by media conglomerate Time Warner.

Sports Illustrated was the first magazine with the circulation over one million to win the National Magazine Award for General Excellence twice.

Today Sports illustrated as its own website along with a swimsuit issue and also a Sports Illustrated for kids.  

This magazine is a fun, safe environment for kids, filled with some of the best sports information. This magazine is targeted towards kids and pre-teens up to 17 years old. The magazine's core value is to promote positive values, good sportsmanship and the fun of reading. Sports Illustrated for kids also has its own website that changes from day to day, with the goal of creating a fun, safe environment for kids, filled with news, games, and interactive features.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue was published since 1964 and is now an annual publishing event that generates its own television shows, videos, and calendars. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is published annually by sports Illustrated. This magazine features fashion models wearing swim wear in exotic locales.

In the 1930s and 1940s two other magazines named Sports
Illustrated magazine were started but they both failed quickly. Following these events, there was no large-base general sports magazine with a national following. It was then that TIME patriarch Henry Luce, who was not a sports fan, began considering whether his company should attempt to fill that gap. At this time, many people believed that sports was beneath the attention of serious journalism and didn't. think sports news could fill a weekly magazine.
 
After offering $200,00 in an unsuccessful bid to buy the name Sport for the new magazine, they acquired the right to the name Sports Illustrated instead for just $10,000. The goal of the new magazine was to be "not a sports magazine, but the sports magazine." The popularity of spectator sports in the United States was about to explode, and that popularity came to driven largely by three things : economic prosperity, television, and Sports Illustrated.

Today Sports Illustrated is one of the most popular men's magazine, this magazine has over 3 million subscribers and is read by 23 million adults each week. 18 million men,19% of the adult males in the country read and subscribe to Sports Illustrated magazine.

Magazine Of The Day: Mens Journal

Men's Journal magazine really gets down to what matters when you want to enjoy yourself. Whether it be sports (playing, not watching), travel, exercise or any sort of adventure, Men's Journal has got tips that will help you out.

The latest issue covers a story about heli-skiing. An (expensive) activity in which skiers fly to the top of a mountain and ski down. Sounds all good and fine until the environmentalists come into the picture. They accuse the pilot, who profits from each run, of "degrading fragile wilderness," a serious federal crime. Honestly, is it anywhere in the scope of reason to think that flattening a bit of snow and snapping a few twigs is bad for the environment? If so, lets make deer illegal too, they eat all the plants!

Men's journal doesn't seem to take a stance on the issue but rather seems to remain neutral. That is quite respectable for a glossy publication, as most seem to love to put their spin on the issues.

Magazine Of The Day: New York Magazine

New York Magazine is a chronicle of modern culture and current events. If something important is happening in the world, New York Magazine is covering it. On a weekly basis it appears with analysis of recent news from all different areas. Politics, business, entertainment and art all pack this magazine cover to cover. New ideas are commonplace in this magazine. In my opinion it is one of the most progressive publications out there.

At New York Magazine, they covers everything from where to get a good slice of pizza in the city to who might become the next president. Covering such a wide range of subjects and aspects of life really makes this mag something to pick up and look at. As of late, politics have been getting more coverage than piza however, most likely due to the impending elections this November. As the date draws near, NYM is striving to keep us all informed on the candidates shenanigans as they campaign across the 50 states.

New York also goes to the lighter side to deliver stories about entertainment, or even make the entertainment (we all remember the Lindsey Lohan photo shoot, right?). Although the entertainment section of the magazine does go a bit over the top sometimes, it usually keeps to its own and doesn't overshadow the other points of the magazine. All-in-all the sections are well balanced and evenly defined. If you get the chance, definitely grab a copy of this magazine, you wont be sorry.

Cosmopolitan wants to know what sexy means.

Many people (you may have even been one of them) have been receiving large post cards in the mail asking them what they think sexy means. The ad sports a picture of a model on the front accompanied by phrases such as "Sexy means having a bold attitude." On the reverse side it calls readers to visit sexymeans.com and type up their impression of what sexy really means, in exchange for a chance to win a free vacation. The weirdest part about the entire thing is that the sender is completely missing from the information. It seems to be an ad campaign that has somehow eluded its creators and scurried off into the wild alone.

The coming of Sunday the 13th marked the revelation of the source of this peculiar piece of postage. It is the first stage of an exhorbant ad campaign by the people at cosmopolitan. The people at Cosmo have always had a thing for sales. If it wasn't for that, how else would the magazine have risen to the top of the magazine industry. Cosmo has transcended the bounds of the "back rack" magazines over the many years of its production and has made it to the forefront of each and every single newsstand,  and magazine rack, be it digital or real world.

Since its founding in 1886, Cosmopolitan has been reporting on modern social trends.

Magazine Of The Day: Maxim

If you didn't see this one coming from a mile away, then you're blind. Man has been reading Maxim since he could write (with a slight exception for the sliver of time between the invention of writing and the publication of maxim.) Its got everything: Cars, gadgets, clothes, jokes and of course, women. Each issue is packed with stuff we as men love. Maxim is just one of those magazines everyone needs a little taste of, even women.

Jamie King graces the cover of the latest issue of Maxim, sporting an outfit that could be called less than graceful. Then again, Maxim never has been about the grace, if you catch my drift; wink wink cough cough. The issue continues past the cover to depart from the beauty on the cover to cover topics such as space exploration, athletic idols of years past, Mick Jagger's thoughts on nearly everything, and "why Boston sucks" (their words, not mine Bostonians).

All in all, this magazine is very worth reading. Its full of informed, intellectual and articulated writing, peppered liberally with fart jokes, pop culture, and scantily clad women, not to mention and advice column that is out of this world.

More About Maxim: Maxim is a unique combination of service journalism and irreverent humor, addressing real concerns of regular guys. Its success comes from understanding that men need to know a little bit about a lot of things; and MAXIM delivers this information in a witty & relevant style.

Magazine Of The Day: Wired Magazine

I've got to say, i have always had an affinity for technology. Anything with flashing lights or beeping speakers catches my eye. In school I was "the nerd" and at work im the IT Guy (read: still the nerd). There are lots of us out there, and this one's for you, my fellow keyboard jockeys.

Wired Magazine is always on point with the absolute latest info on the tech scene. They broke the news of the new Geforce 9 series when most magazines were just giving readers a taste of the 8 series. Intel's new CPU technology has even been touched on, and nobody has even seen that yet. Even with all of that, this magazine isn't like some computer magazines out there that think they should be catalogs rather than magazines, dangling shiny and expensive hardware in the reader's faces. Rather, it showcases the current cutting edge, while still keeping the spotlight on what you actually have under your desk.

Wired is a magazine for the people. Its got plenty of guides, tips and tricks that can actually be considered useful. Ever need to speed up your machine? Wired can help. Need to clean up your drive? Wired's got you. Even if your interests dont focus on the machine, computers are a part of everyday life. The advice Wired has can help with it all.

Its not all games, but its not all business. Its got "high end", but it also helps out the budget-buyer. Wired is the magazine of the digital masses.

Magazine Of The Day: Nickelodeon Magazine

I'd like to believe that the future holds weight in the children - which is obvious, everything grows up. The young become the elder and the elder...well, they go somewhere far away. But, for the moment - you must nurture what's growing and with that comes an exciting magazine called Nickelodeon Magazine.

Nickelodeon Magazine is an interesting publication, Nickelodeon is the award-winning entertainment and humor magazine from Nickelodeon TV. It's packed with fascinating facts, celebrity interviews, comics, pull-outs, puzzles, activities, and the inside scoop on Nick TV. For children ages 6-14!

As I was growing up, I never really had children's magazines but I know that if they were around, maybe I could be a different person now. At my age, I remember the Archie's or the Mad-Libs, but other then that, I was stuck with either Ren & Stimpy or...who knows.

I'm sure everybody can agree with me, I found this cool link of children's quotes and I wanted to leave for everybody to read up on. John W. Whitehead said in 1983, "Children are the living message we send to a time we will not see." It's an incredible gift to give something to somebody that could potentially grow up and help you - and I'd like to believe that it's a commonality...to want to allow a flower to grow. 

Nickelodeon Magazine is exciting and full of information - I recommend it to all parents looking to shower their child with a wealth of knowledge and of course, teach them to laugh a little (full of humor).

Magazine Of The Day: Men's Health

I've been a lover of Men's Health ever since it hit the racks in 1988 and it's only gotten better and better. When it comes to magazine subscriptions at a great value, Men's Health Magazine is the way to go. For $14.96, you get a magazine that is filled with articles that will help any man get into better shape, both physically and mentally.

Men's Health is solid but I have my issues with it - as I do with almost anything. I understand that a magazine has to have X amount of pages and have X amount of articles but the amount of self help peices in Men's Health could make ANY man feel uncomfortable. They do an incredible job in digging up stuff that most guys would find interesting but it would take a  guy with such a strict regiment to have the capacity to incorporate their little tid-bits.

From ways of slimming down, finding the perfect women, helping your career or keeping a solid head of hair on your head - Men's Health Magazine nails it perfectly. At times, it may seem a little redundant at times - but all in all, for $14.96 - you can not go wrong. Even if you take away a little of each subscription, you're still miles ahead of the guy next to you.

Besides, we all know, action speaks louder then words!
