Journalism, marketing, creative writing, business, art....depends on what type of magazine and what role you want to play in the magazine. If you want to be into the creative side then you need art, graphic design, writing etc If you want to go into publishing then you need a business and marketing background. Magazine is teamwork.\n\nIf you look at the title page of a magazine it will list everyone that works on it. Start by researching their job titles online and focusing on what interests you the most.\n\nAlso have a clear idea of what audience you want to reach because you will need to be an expert in your field. For example if you want to do say a decorating magazine you will need a back ground in that field.\n\nI don't know where you live but perhaps you can call a local, small publication and ask to volunteer, just to see what it is like to get something to press. And also write letters, snail mail works best, asking questions of people in the industry about how they got where they are. People like to help people who are interested in their field. \n\nAnd lastly, look into if there are union requirements, clubs, organizations etc for the field...maybe you can get some inter work. (Interns are people who work their a** off for free so they can make contacts, network and learn the business in exchange.) \n\nGood luck...

What I suggest is taking some classes, buying some books, and job shadowing a photographer or two in your town.

English, Mass Communications or Journalism. Try to get a good Liberal Arts degree so you are well rounded.

I would suggest English, Journalism or Business for general publishing opportunities.  If you go with English, look for a Professional Writing specialization.  Some universities have graduate programs (for after your Bachelors degree) in Publishing- I'll link to one below so you can see the program details and entrance requirements for yourself.

I assume for a girl right? Well my little sister has sweet sixteen and teen vogue.  Both of those seem okay.  If you are looking for more cleanliness though it would be sweet sixteen.  Again, if for a girl because I don't know too many teen mags for guys.  haa!

Do you want to go into business for yourself, or be hired by some company or school?\n\nExperience is at the top of the list. There are many so-so photographers out there taking and selling photographs.\n\nIf you go to college and take a number of photography and digital imaging type classes, you might gain some insight into the field.\n\nIf you want to work at a school, you need a college degree.\n\nIf you want to take people on photography field trips, you need a clientelle, and a portfolio of work.\n\nMy own husband is a self-taught photographer, and years ago he taught a college class in photography after a professor there asked him to. He was a student at the time, and didn't get paid, but he got college credits for the class he taught.

I agree. The Princeton Review worked best for me, too. Check it out: it also has online help, quizzes, and tips.

Teen magazines or Google.

I would go for the University degree, but try to get a part-time job at a paper too, or maybe work freelance. A lot of degrees also offer work placements now, my flatmate at uni did a journalism/media degree, did a 2 week work placement in her final year for a local magazine, and is now working there permanently.\n\nUniversity degree will educate you in the different types of Journalism styles and give you a good grounding.

Well, you forgot to list the Internet, which trumps these hands down in my opinion, but if I did have to choose, I'd say newspaper. Its a little slower than the rest (most only have 2 editions), but the sheer number of words allows for a breath not capable on television or radio.  Magazines aren't regular enough (unless you were including daily bulletins).  Like I pointed out, the newspapers' limited frequency would put me at a slight disadvantage, but if I read it every day, I would be able to anticiapte most marketing and business trends (breaking news excluded, of coures).

Definitely the contents. A lot of gossip magazines have the best pictures, great colors, awesome quality of paper, but the don't interest me. Give me substance, good contents, good columns and ideas.  That's what I buy.

I think Kaplan does classes.  Also usually there are some in your area that do lots of advertising.  Ask your school's college counselor.

Cosmo or Maxim (Even though it's for guys, it's a good mag.)
