Something key is to get an internship. Go to magazine's websites and see what they have in the way of contact info or employment sections. See where they're based and contact someone about internships as a start. Something simple, but overlooked is also to email someone from the magazine you admire, and ask them for advice. They'd be flattered and could give you some good tips. Good jobs for magazines are highly competitive, that's why it's key to get a leg in with an internship or a mentor or sorts.
