[Data-modeling] periodical subjects

[Faye Harris]

As for likely values for newspaper subjects, surely there should be a 
distinction made between old-fashioned news-focusing real newspapers, 
and those tabloid celebrity gossip "entertainment news" things pushed at 
you at supermarket checkouts?

I've seen categories like the following applied to periodicals/newspapers:

Business
Entertainment
Industry
Religious

Then there are breakdowns like:
Hobbies
Men's interests
Women's interests

Are these...genres? subjects?
