OK, the type Periodical Subject is live and ready for use. Al, I got you started with some Atari ST mags.

Onion, World Weekly News and Private Eye are best described as 'satirical' publications. 
I would think a 'sensationalist' or perhaps 'paranormal' subject would cover Elvis, Lord Lucan, ghost & alien sightings etc.

These all seem to me like they could be subjects, with the possible 
exception of Elvis-reportage. (One could argue, I suppose, that both the 
Onion and World Weekly News could have "Fake News" as a subject.) I propose 
we go with a "Subjects" property on the Periodical type for now, and see how 
that works. (This will be a bit of a denormalization with the Subjects 
property on Journal, but I think we'll be able to live with that.)
