Redirected from Periodical

Magazines are typically published weekly, twice-monthly or monthly, and often have some colour-printed content and coated paper. "Journal" is sometimes used in reference to a magazine.

Many weekend newspapers now incorporate 'magazine sections' with a magazine-like format.
