The list above may be loosely translated according to genre/interest as follows: 1. Word games; 2. Gardening; 3. Health; 4. Women; 5. Women; 6. Cooking; 7. Home; 8. Friends; 9. Social Issues; 10. Women. The monthly continues the strong emphasis on female readership found with weekly variety magazines. But the specificity and length of the monthly enables a more engaged interest in personal or domestic self-improvement. The word game publication excepted, unless considered as general intellectual stimulation or in terms of language refinement, the monthly targets ways of improving social relations between friends and within family, personal health and awareness of social issues, and home improvement broadly considered. While the weekly includes everything on this list more or less equally proportioned in each issue, and more, the monthly targets specific aspects of interest and extends the depth of coverage. The monthly will no doubt include word games, and a monthly on home improvement may include an article on cooking or domestic disputes. But the emphasis shifts to exaggerate one particular area of interest.
