One of a series of regularly published periodicals, such as a magazine, newspaper, or newsletter, defined by the date of publication or the content. For example, a magazine published in January is the January issue. The last magazine published each year may be a special "End-of-Year" issue. Sports Illustrated has a "Bathing Suit" issue published each year, featuring swimsuit fashions and the models that show them.

Some special-content publications called special editions are actually different versions of an issue, such as a West Coast edition of a January issue, featuring advertisements from local West Coast retailers. The issue name, title, price, and some or all of the editorial content are the same, but the advertising content and distribution

areas differ.

When an issue of fact arises, the court or jury must consider and evaluate the weight of the evidence in order to reach a decision. An issue of law exists thereby providing a ground for a summary judgment sought by a party to the action when only one conclusion can be drawn by the court from the undisputed evidence, obviating the need for deliberation by a jury.

The term issue is frequently found in provisions of a deed. In testamentary matters, the meaning of issue is derived from the intent of the testator, a maker of a will. The intent is determined from the provisions of the will.

Investopedia Says:
1. The issuance of securities can take many forms. Companies may have a new issue, where securities are released for the first time, or a seasoned issue, where an established firm offers additional shares.
