IT’S 2016 and this is the cyber century. Computers and other technological devices have taken over the world. The hype that magazines once had has and is decreasing as all news, information, gossip, etc can be found online. To cope with this, many magazines have created digital platforms for themselves. For example, many magazines have their own apps that can be downloaded and issues that can be bought and read online. Some have even created YouTube channels, etc. where they provide their service instead of
hard copies.
