A local information magazine. Its history is thought to date back to The New Yorker, which was founded by Greeley in 1834 in the United States. In Japan, it seems that there was a little magazine called Kobekko in Kobe during the Taisho era, but the details are unknown. Town magazines became established in society around 1970 (Showa 45). What distinguishes it from traditional magazine journalism is that the publishing house is located in a regional city, coverage is focused on the surrounding area, and advertisers and readers are mostly limited to that area. The sales and distribution network is also on a different level from traditional publishing distributors, and in addition to bookstores, all sorts of local shops and places such as hotels, restaurants, play guides and coffee houses are points of contact with readers. Naturally, reporting and reader access are also achieved through these routes. Advertisers are also mainly developed within the area, making it the magazine with the highest density within the area. However, because the content is regional except for entertainment, there is a tendency for it to stray from political and social issues. Since it lists information on the target area (mainly cities), it is useful for tourists, and is booming in societies that attract tourists, such as former socialist countries. However, since capital and experience are weak, the turnover is also rapid.

地域内情報誌。その歴史は、アメリカでは1834年にグリーリーが創刊した『ニューヨーカー』にさかのぼると考えられる。日本では大正時代、神戸に『神戸っ子』というリトル・マガジンがあったようであるが、詳細はわからない。タウン誌が社会に定着したのは1970年(昭和45)前後からである。 従来の雑誌ジャーナリズムと異なるのは、地方都市に発行所を置き、その周辺を取材し、広告主や読者もそのエリアにほぼ限定する。また発売・配布網も従来の出版取次と次元を異にし、書店のほか、ホテル、レストラン、プレイガイド、コーヒーハウスなど、ありとあらゆる地域の店や場所が読者との接点になる。当然そこをルートとする取材、読者からのアクセス(接近)もある。広告主もエリア内におもに開拓され、エリア内ではもっとも高密度の雑誌である。ただ内容が娯楽を除いて地域的なため、政治・社会問題から乖離(かいり)する傾向がある。 対象の地域(主として都市)の情報を掲載しているところから、旅行客に有用で、旧社会主義国など観光客を誘致している社会で活況を呈している。ただ、資本、経験とも弱体なので新陳代謝も激しい。 [田村紀雄] 『田村紀雄著『アメリカのタウン誌』(1981・河出書房新社)』▽『田村紀雄編『大学生の見たメディアのアントレプレナ(起業家)』(1997・NTTメディアスコープ)』 [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
