PAKET 5


Text 1 : For questions number 1-5

A magazine is periodical containing a variety of articles and general illustration of an entertaining or an instructive nature. Magazines are designed to be of interest either to general public or to groups of people with specialized subject matters. The essential difference between the magazine and the newspaper is a physical one: The magazine is smaller in size and often bound in pamphlet form.

Magazine production involves teamwork. This means that many people have to work together to produce the magazine you have in your hand. But one key person is the magazine editor. If someone has a manuscript he wants to publish, he will send or submit it to the editor of the magazine he likes. The magazine editor, usually the editor-in-chief, will read it and make recommendation so that the manuscript can be published.

Another task of a magazine editor is to consider whether the article will be part of series. Will it have photographs or illustrations? Will it be in full color, two or three colors, or black and white? Once the decision is made, the work of an illustrator or photographer begins. Preparing manuscripts for the magazine is hard work to do. After everything is all right, they are sent to the typesetters. When the galleys (or typeset text) come back, they must be carefully read. This is the job of a proofreader to find out whether or not there are mistakes in typesetting. Corrections are made if there are mistakes.
