What is the difference between National and Regional

magazines?

• National magazines have to retain a few valuables each time they create an issue. They must always stick to their respective genre whether that be film, music, sport, entertainment, fashion or food. Their content can vary in different forms such as interviews, Q&A, reviews, comments etc. They try to include a wider range as possible in order to attract a range of people throughout the country. They may have a target audience in mind or a specific age range but they always look for ways to make the gap bigger in order to attract a bigger audience. They tend to include articles that feature 'world exclusive' to show that the content is valuable not just nationally but internationally.

• Regional magazines share similar qualities to national magazines. Their content in each issue must be attractive and interesting for their readers to read. They also do this including various articles involving reviews and interviews depending on their genre. However, their content tries to aim to be as regional as possible. This is due to the fact that their audience is going to buy it so they can keep up to date on what is happening in their area. If it fails to do this it will lose purpose and this will result in the loss of readers.
