Magazine
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
A magazine was a periodical containing a collection of articles or stories often accompanied by photographs.
On 20th and 21st century Earth, they were common sights in book stores and also sold on streets.
In 1953, Benny Russell encountered a vendor in Harlem whose newsstand sold magazines and newspapers. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
The Alexandria Books store in Portage Creek, Indiana had a large set of magazines for sale. (VOY: "11:59")
In the 23rd century, magazines also circulated on 892-IV, then at a stage similar to Earth's 20th century. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")
