Irwin Linker (born 1939) is a creator of special-interest magazines.

I had, too, but it was pretty dull stuff and published in limited-circulation, special-interest magazines.

The same year those great mass-audience magazines folded, 300 new special-interest magazines were born.

We now have 13,000 special-interest magazines and no general-purpose magazines.

Elsewhere in publishing the trend toward targeted, special-interest magazines continued.

There are also several large ethnic weeklies (one of them runs more than 200 pages), special-interest magazines - and did someone say "Internet"?

The company hopes to buy several more special-interest magazines within a few years, he said.
