It is difficult to answer this question without more information-- which newspapers and magazines are you asking about, and in which time period? But I can say that newspapers and magazines originally were not aimed at "the masses"-- they were aimed at an educated elite who could read. Some newspapers and magazines focused on specific topics, like literature (especially short stories) or current events; some were aimed at what were then perceived as women's interests, focusing on cooking or sewing or fashion. But it wasn't until literacy increased, and until certain newspapers and magazines began to write in a more user-friendly style (with lots of pictures and illustrations, sensational and exaggerated headlines, news about celebrity scandals) that the average person began buying these publications. I will add more to this answer once I know more about what you are asking.

Magnate, a term commonly associated with a wealthy and influential person, does not refer to a specific discovery like a mineral or chemical element.

The scientific study of magnetism began to develop in the 17th century, notably with the work of William Gilbert in 1600. If you meant something else by "Magnate," please provide clarification.
