The author examines the structure of printed periodicals in the context of the de­velopment of information and communication technologies and proves that the dif­ferences between the newspaper and the magazine are blurred. The article shows that the typological characteristics of printed periodicals have not been strictly de­termined but in terms of the Internet such features as periodicity, size, particularities of the information presented are virtually erased.

Keywords: periodicals, newspaper, magazine, typological characteristics
