This is something I became curious about and dug into it. Now I want to see if you know. I'll give best answer to whoever is closest. I want to know how it is that "magazine" came to represent the case full of bullets that is inserted into a fire arm (also film magazine for camera) and the type of publication, examples of which are Newsweek, People, Time, Scientific American, Shape, etc. - two seemingly unrelated things.
