Magazine

A magazine is a place where goods are stored, particularly a room or building where ammunition is stored. It also refers to a spring-loaded container for the ammunition for a single firearm; see semi-automatic firearm.
By analogy with the above, a magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects.

Many weekend newspapers now incorporate 'magazine sections' with a magazine-like format.
