                                                                        Magazine Demassification
       From the 1950's through the 1970's magazines demassified enormously. This is so interesting for me because I didn't think that TV was a large part of media during that time. As I listened in class, I learned that there were only three news channels available for the public. Not to mention that the TV was on during the afternoon hours so that the public could be informed during their lunch breaks. This contributed to the cut back of magazine sales throughout areas of the US that had started distributing magazines. With all of the advertisements on TV, many companies knew that sales were going to go down if they continued to advertise in magazines. Many companies then switched their advertisements to TV stations because there were many more viewers. As a result, magazines became less popular.
