Serial Format: Magazines and Newspapers

Both newspapers and magazines are good real-life examples of the serial format. Newspapers come out every day or every week, and are something that people look forward to. They are also ways to provide people with information that they need (weather, local news, etc.) and entertainment (crossword puzzles, sports results, etc.). Magazines come out every week or month and are also ways for people to get information such as "Time", the news magazine. There are many different kinds of magazines: cooking, home, fashion, gossip. These are both great examples of the usage of installments to keep people reading and subscribing.
