One could argue that magazines exist solely for targeted marketing. Just like TV. Programming is geared at a particular demographic to facilitate marketing particular products. Cable's taken it to the next level with whole channels aimed at a tribal demographic, and then refined to the markets within that demo. Very much like a magazine is aimed at a tribe, with articles geared to particular interests surrounded by ads targeting the sort of folks who read such articles.
