How do they find something new to write about?
How do they find something new to write about other than sale copy for the products of their magazines advertiser’s?
Most of the time they don't.
When I was doing my student teaching at a photography school,,,
A person came in and donated 25+ years worth of photography magazines.
Me and a few students started to sort them by date,,,
We noticed that each month (no matter what year) had the same articles.
Every March there was an article about
Capturing Spring Colors,,,
It was always by a different author.
The articles always touted different film/filters/etc,,,
But were always about the same thing.
At first they thought it was coincidence,,,
But after several years piled up they saw the trend.
The gun rags are no different,,,
Certain articles will always be ran at certain times.
How many articles have you read on
Winter Concealment or
Summer Carry?
The prime purpose of the ra ,,, errr, mags are to make money.
That doesn't mean they don't try to publish good stuff,,,
But in reality they are happy to update and recycle standard topics.
