ABSTRACT
This chapter will consider the structures of a ‘typical’ magazine company, by which is meant a commercial organisation whose main business is magazine production, whether consumer or B2B. However, this is by no means the only type of organisation involved in creating magazines: charities, religious groups, colleges and universities, businesses – all sorts of groups and individuals – may produce in-house or small-circulation titles. In addition, someone reading this book will presumably have a strong interest in producing their own title, perhaps for personal interest, but without necessarily being tied to a commercial publisher.
