a genre originality of editions

Above we already have mentioned a theme of some genre features of magazines studied by us. We will consider this question more in detail, having revealed a genre originality of national versions of magazines "Vogue" and «Cosmopolitan».

Specificity of female editions assumes presence of set of materials to which exclusively visual component or in which there is not enough text is presented. However materials which flash on magazine pages more often, are especially appreciable in the general information file.

In magazines for a fine half of mankind publishers aspire to appeal to emotions of readers that is why in such magazines is art-publicistic genres prevail. Though, depending on this or that name of magazine (mean «Cosmopolitan» and «Vogue»), we will see some features.

Let's begin with magazine "Vogue". 15 studied numbers of three national versions of this magazine allow to say that the American and English version are rather similar from the point of view of a genre component while the French version differs from them.

For first two - the most typical is the sketch genre in its various versions (portrait, documentary, travelling). Practically in each of numbers studied by us the reader could see to ten materials of this genre. Taking into account that in a quantitative sense «Vogue» does not abound with text materials, this tendency is appreciable especially distinctly.

It is remarkable, what even following the results of conversations with various known people authors acted in a sketch genre, instead of interview more often. Taking into account specificity of magazine more often it there were histories of the known women who have achieved heights in the world of a fashion and show business. It became the brightest difference of the American and English versions «Vogue» from the version French as in last gravitation to an interview genre, on the contrary, is obvious. Also one more distinction - the truth, not so genre, and thematic thereupon arises: interviewing is possible only in case of conversation with the live person. So, for example, American «Vogue» often told on the pages about with whom to spend interview it is already impossible.

For the English and American version of magazine "Vogue" the genre of a book review is characteristic also. And the French version has more brightly proved in a film announcement genre. In all national versions meet (but note genres are already more rare). It is possible to mention and an epistolary genre which also is present at all releases, however we will not stop on it in detail, as the Word of the editor, reflexions of employees and the letter

Readers - the phenomenon which for a long time has become by norm of the journal periodical press.

As we see, the set of genres in «Vogue» is rather modest. Nevertheless, thanks to this factor weigh shape of the edition becomes finished, gets a certain uniform style. The magazine showing a life in luxury, first of all, should show visual images. More often this purpose is realised by means of portrait and landscape photographing. The text in that case becomes continuation of an illustrative material, and a choice of genres of a sketch or interview - to the most logical.

Magazine "Cosmopolitan" rather differs from «Vogue» concerning genres.

The American version, besides sketches and an interview abundance, shows set of notes, announcements, letters in the form of revelations. There is, in particular, a reporting and journalistic investigation which gets new lines as its subjects directly are connected with a life of women.

Frequent there are also histories from a life which can be carried more often not to a sketch, and to a story genre as in them there is an art fiction, or to an essay genre where the appreciable place is occupied with a self-reflexion. Interestingly and occurrence of such genre as experiment - however, it is used in magazine extremely "dozirovanno". Also in American «Cosmopolitan» there are many pages with the information on those or other products and novelties of the goods, that, in our opinion, it is possible to carry to a comment genre (though and not always). All genres set forth above are characteristic and for an English variant of magazine. The French version differs from two previous only absence of reportings and investigations.

It is possible to add: the choice designated above genres in magazine is not casual, after all the edition aspires to represent itself as the adviser for young girls, yet grown wise experience.
