Magazine Terminology

 

I have labelled the school magazine above with some magazine terms. Some are more familiar than others!

 


Textual

Masthead: the title of a newspaper or magazine at the head of the first or editorial page

Kicker: the first sentence or first few words of a story's lead, set in a font size larger than the body text of the story

Deck:  part of the headline which summarises the story

Byline: a journalist's name at the beginning of a story

Pull Quote: selected quote from a story highlighted next to the main text. Often used in interviews

Kerning: adjusting the spacing between (characters) in a piece of text to be printed
 
Puff: an advertisement, especially one exaggerating the value of the goods advertised

Skyline: the outline of a magazine cover
