Founded in 1898, Sunset Magazine was established for Southern Pacific Railroad to publicize and encourage travel to the Western portion of the United States. Sunset Magazine stories focused on creating awareness around what the West was all about, and increase popularity and travel. As with much of San Francisco, Sunset Magazine was impacted by the earthquake of 1906 but did publish an emergency version limited to 6 pages. The publication continued to struggle and in 1914, Southern Pacific sold to team members in hopes of transforming the publication from promotional to a literary magazine. Newspapers and Magazines launched other well-known names such as Readers Digest, Vanity Fair, Time and Life during the 1920’s. Radio was also the buzz …show more content…
Additionally, through a joint venture with Cornerstone they will be relocating their gardens and outdoor test kitchen to Sonoma Valley (Scianna, 2015). Under the joint venture, Cornerstone will use the iconic Sunset brand to attract more visitors and retailers to the Cornerstone property. In turn Sunset Magazine has a new scenic location that will support editorial photo campaigns, and Sunsets expanding events business (Swindell, 2015). Conclusion Technology has made a significant impact on mass media. Therefore, Sunset Magazine has evolved from a print publication used to market to travelers to one that includes a digital version, as well as an application, and accessibility through various social media platforms. What was once a paper publication distributed on Railways has withstood the test of time. Sunset Magazine has survived major disasters, challenging economic times, and changed ownership multiple times. Through all of this, Sunset Magazine has continued to be a niche publication targeted at the Western states. Sunset has not had a competitor come close to duplicating their success. The Lane brothers built Sunset Magazine into an empire focused on the greater good, and their legend lives on through the continued evolution of Sunset and it’s environmentally focused

Have you ever looked through a magazine and found it to be really interesting? That is because you are part of its target audience. You are part of a group of people that the magazine is trying to appeal to. There is a reason Sports Illustrated is more of a man’s magazine and Family Circle is more of a woman’s magazine. The people that run that magazine put certain things in those magazines to attract their audience. More commonly, men are interested in sports and anything to do with sports. In Sports Illustrated, the reader would find sports, and that is it. The reader would not find an article titled “How working women balance their careers and home lives.” An article such as that would be found in a magazine like Family Circle, as it is targeted more towards women who have a family. For the purpose of this audience visual analysis, I will be discussing the October 8th, 2012 issue of People magazine. Looking at this issue and reading through the magazine, it is evident that the publishers do have a target audience in mind. This visual analysis will discuss who its target audience is and how the reader can tell. Also, the essay will discuss how the magazine makes the advertisements relevant to its audience.
The following is an account of Chelsea Green Publishing Company, a small publishing business that has successfully found its niche, while at the same time has made (and continues to make) the world a bit more sustainable.

Today, the development of the publication industry is vulnerable to the growing impact of technology. Contemporary technology affects the publication industry in terms of internal business processes, consumer behavior and the nature of business. Such issues as growing impact of information technologies and rise of online publication, the decrease consumer interest in print media, the wide introduction of new technology and automation in the publication industry, and many others influence consistently the development of the publishing industry. In actuality, effects of technology on the publication industry are controversial, but the technology progress and their impact on the publication industry are irrevocable
Furthermore, it can be shown that the avoidance, or better yet divergence, of tabloid journalism from the ‘seriousness’ of news is an employed strategy to further broaden the appearance of media itself and to foster inclusion. The Daily Sun newspaper was launched in 2002. The publisher had stated that its goal was to present to audiences an alternative news model to the usual “boring, serious, expensive, elitist, formal, and difficult-to-read” newspapers in South Africa (Du Plessis, 2005). It was established with the aim of broadening the scope of the demographics of audiences that are meant to have access to news and information- news and information that is relevant to and affects their daily lives. It was intended to reach its target audience-
Print media is on the decline, this can be seen in the U.S.newspaper industry as it is facing “its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression” (Kirchhoff). A few huge newspaper chains declared their bankruptcy, while many others have shut down (Kirchhoff). This has lead to many reporters and editors to be out of the job, lesser pay and even becoming web-only publications (Kirchhoff).
The newspaper industry presaged its decline after the introduction of the television and televised broadcasting in the 1950s and then after the emergence of the internet to the public in the 1990s and the 21st century with its myriad of media choices for people. Since then the readership of printed media has declined whilst digital numbers continue to climb. This is mostly due to television and the internet being able to offer immediate information to viewers and breaking news stories, in a more visually stimulating way with sound, moving images and video. Newspapers are confined to paper and ink and are not considered as ‘alive’ as these other mediums.
As the power of technology grows, information has become not only easier to spread, but has also become more generally accessible. Anyone who seeks news from any part of the world can easily find it on the internet. Previously, the most common form of information distribution was through newspapers, printed in large quantities and sold for small fees. Now newspapers are having to make their way on to the internet, printing less in favor for online subscriptions to digital copies of their productions. This practice has caused a general shift from less physical productions of media to more web based publications, as brought to attention by Ira H. Fuchs, author of the article “Prospects and Possibilities of the Digital Age.” Also, the practice of keeping full time journalists and photographers on staff has declined in favor of purchasing mostly freelance materials, as addressed by Julianne H. Newton in her book The Burden of Visual Truth: The Role of Photojournalism in Mediating Reality. This has been done to mostly cut down on costs, but some wonder if it could potentially lead to a decrease in credibility. There has also been a question as to whether this change in how media is presented is something that needs to be done, or if this could potentially lead to misinformed stories.
The publishing industry has experienced massive changes over the past decade. With the introduction and development of digital technologies, publishers have had to learn to adapt their methods and embrace these advances. Books and magazines are no longer bought solely at book stores, read only through physical copies and the way we market and distribute a publication has migrated mostly online, causing the traditional publishing model to be skewed. These new found technologies are a positive addition to the publishing field, allowing for more growth in a variety of areas and helping keep traditional print publishing alive. In this essay
