I don't know in what context you mean "real".
Online content is not a magazine. It can be an extension of a magazine or used in place of a magazine - as in what they have done with Teen People and a few other teen magazines - but it cannot be called a magazine because it is not issued periodically - there is no issue date. If you were using information to footnote a paper, I am not sure how you would do it.
When advertisers buy on these websites as opposed to placing an ad a magazine, there are different ways of measuring how the audience is counted.
There are digital magazines that can be read on computers using a special digital reader - www.zinio.com and www.newsstand.com. These look exactly like magazines and the pages turn just like a paper magazine. The advertisers pay for audience just like they do with a paper magazine - often these numbers are combined. These are considered "real" magazines. You can footnote these in a paper just like a paper magazine.
Most magazines have digital editions and this will become more popular as time goes on.

If you asking for school reasons....you may want to ask yur teacher about that one. I had a teacher that said I couldn't use online mags.
If it's not for school reasons I'd say yes.
