Unlike real-world magazines, demoscene diskmags are free, so the editors and the writers don't get paid for their effort. As a result, the editors have often problems finding people willing to write high-quality articles for their next issue. Some editors resort to publishing fillers, others prefer quality over quantity.
Some topics that often come back in articles are:
- News: which group released which demo, got new members, became active/inactive...
- Demoparty reports and the results of the democompos.
- How to code a certain demoeffect.
- Why the scene is dying.
- Reviews of recent demos, pictures or modules.
- Interviews with famous sceners.
- Opinion articles about why the latest trend in the scene (f.e. MP3s) is Good or Bad
