A group of 100 people meet once every two months in a London bar for the Printout event. These are people with a passion for the printed magazine, and love to collect them and want to keep the print magazines alive. According to the Guardian magazine, "mainstream magazines might be struggling to survive against digital media, but their independent counterparts are thriving". Indie magazines, the smaller, independent magazines, are doing much better and are more celebrated by the Printout event participants.

"Crowdfunding campaigns are everywhere these days, some successful while others aren't so lucky. There are countless campaigns to bring cancelled television shows back from the dead. Magazines have turned to crowdfunding as a new revenue stream to fund the costs of publishing each issue." - Jillean Kearny

 History of Daniel Defoe creator of "The Review"

 

Daniel Defoe, an English journalist, poet, novelist, spy and merchant. He was bankrupt four times, placed in the pillory for sedition, and created one of the earliest forms of political and popular belief magazines. Throughout his career he focused attention on trade, the expanding empire, foreign relations, religious toleration and economic development, among many other things. However, his magazine the review is significant because of the creation of new British territory and the development of mercantile interests and policies that accompanied this growth provide the international topics that make up the content of the Review.Defoe’s Review, published fifteen years after the 15th Century, it was not the first English periodical, but it was the first to engage a particular political topic: the relationship between England and France. He was the first to introduce the idea of political economy. An inevitable product of examining international and domestic politics is writing on political economy, a topic whose origins mark the transition from mercantilism and monarchy to constitutional monarchy and capitalism.Daniel Defoe began writing his Review (1704-1713) only three years prior to the Act of Union in 1707, which joined the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. The first Act of Union, passed in 1535-42, had annexed Wales to England, so by the time Defoe began writing theReview, the boundaries of British domain were in the process of further expanding. The rise of political parties and conflited political viewpoints added fuel to Defoe's fire and brought about ideas such as international trade, national wealth, and early forms of credit.

SUBSTANTIAL MOMENTS OF GROWTH

 

 

The first really successful magazine in the United States was the Saturday Evening Post, first published in 1821.

But in 1825 there were only fewer than 100 magazines in the country. By 1850, the number grown to 600, and magazines finally became well recognized and established as a mass medium. At that time, due to freedom of press, many magazines also took a "viewpoint" on specific issues; for example, during the Civil War, which was primarily fought over the issue of slavery, northern magazines often espoused antislavery views, and southern magazines typically publicized pro-slavery articles and journals. Thus, magazines served to strengthen the opposing views and reinforce divisions of thought, which in large measure fueled the war.(2)

In 1879 mail was reorganized, so that magazines now enjoyed the same low postage cost as newspapers. With improved techniques in paper manufacturing and printing machinery, including color printing beginning in the 1860s, lowered production costs. For example, the Saturday Evening Post sold for five-cents a copy. Also, the increase in literacy with development of schools made even more people literate, making magazines even more popular. As a result, the number of magazines boomed, and the highest magazine circulations climbed from 40,000 before the Civil War to 100,000 by the end of the century.(1)(2)
