...
Oh wait!! We don't have to do that, I actually do have something up my sleeve that we can enjoy today. Here we go, so today I'll be discussing magazine genres, if you remember my last blog then you'd remember how I discussed what consumer magazines are and how they are 1 of the 3 main types of magazines. You'd also remember how I discussed it is comprised of about 14 sub-categories or genres. Well today I'm going to be discussing with you 7 of those genres, I'll save the other 7 for another blog, after all I don't want to over-stimulate your brain with such knowledge.

Here are the 7 genres we will go over today;
1. News and General Interest Magazines
2. Cooking Magazines
3. Fashion Magazines
4. Art Magazines
5. Technology Magazines
6. Health Magazines
7. Children's Magazines
