I'll try to remember that in future posts that I read, and that I publish, of British "newspapers."
So, do the Brits use the word "magazine?" If so, what do they mean by it?
"Briefs" is not a familiar word to us Yanks, either, unless you're talking about an article of men's clothing. If I had to say, I would say that they are what American scholars refer to as "monographs."
