This week on Ask a Teacher , we answer a question from Felippe in Brazil. He says:

Question :

Hi! I'm from Barra do Piraí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I have a little question: What is the difference between a magazine and a journal? Thanks!

- Felippe, Brazil

Answer :

Hello Felippe,

There are several differences between these two kinds of publications.

Magazines contain things like news, interviews , essays , how-to guides, pictures and advertisements.

Magazines are usually published weekly or monthly. They are aimed at the general public and use language that most of the public can easily understand. The articles are written by professional writers and reporters. Some are experts on the subjects they are writing about. But many are not. Suppose, for example, someone is writing a health-related story for a magazine. The person may gather information by speaking to health experts, reading about the subject on the internet and looking at study reports. They may even include information from press releases on the subject.

That is very different from a journal.
