Violet had scooted into class just in time and seated herself in an empty chair on the end of a row. She quickly surveyed the covers of the publications--most of them seemed fairly straightforward. The Quibbler, though--it was hard to tell what exactly that was about, except it looked fun!

Feeling like she had better make an attempt to participate before she got too far behind, she raised her hand. "Well, Seeker Weekly seems to be about sports, specifically Quidditch. and the Witch Weekly appears to be a lifestyle magazine--fashion, recipes, gossip, that sort of thing. I don't think they're trying to make a statement about women, they're just trying to market their magazine, and the title would indicate that they're trying to draw in a female audience.

The Quibbler--it's hard to tell what that one is about. You can barely even see its title, the word "SpectreSpecs" is in larger print. The issue itself presumably contains images in 3D and they're making sure you know that they've included free glasses inside to be able to read them with. But really, it could be about anything. Though the whole format seems kind of freewheeling--not your typical layout.

And The Daily Prophet--well, that's a newspaper, right? The strong black-and-white format seems to be trying to say, 'We're a very official publication, you can trust us,' but when you read some of the headlines, it looks as much like gossip as some of the others. I mean, they seem to favor exposes--and alliteration." Violet had to chuckle inwardly at some of the headlines. And poor Albus Dumbledore--with all that was going on in his time, he had to put up with that! Though Violet supposed he wasn't the sort of man to let a news rag bother him much.
