In There Like Swimwear

This picture in itself speaks volumes about how vast Sports Illustrated Magazine has become, and how it attracts its readers. The magazine to most provides you with your everyday knowledge about sports, and carries a number of stories that you may not have the opportunity to hear on television such as ESPN, or through another source.
Sports Illustrated devotes the least amount of pages to advertisement as possible, which is a huge attraction for many readers who do not just want to flip through ads and want to get straight to the material. One of the media tools they utilize are beautiful people among others. The magazine is littered with celebrities and professional athletes faces on nearly every page that help attract readers by showing them faces of people they may see in their everyday media.
The magazine attacks the limbic brain as well as the neocortex. They provide you with hundreds of pictures of athletes and celebrities followed by articles typically related to the people you see in the picture.

The magazine itself has expanded to reach a much broader audience than just the typical guy who likes sports. They had an entire womens issue which unfortunately was canceled due to a lack of subscriptions, as well as the highly coveted Swimsuit Edition that has become about as famous as any other magazine to this day.

Many of the stories carry more detail than just a sporting event or on how an athlete is doing, and go into detail about the player or situations off the court or field, sometimes political even. The magazine always offers a riveting story about something or another. If you haven't yet go and try one out, you might enjoy the magazines layout and the stories they cover.
