Magazines and newspapers are examples of print media. Fiction is not; it is a genre. Why include non-fiction in a print media list?

Fictional vs. fictitious
The adjective fictitious began as a variant of fictional, but the words have differentiated over time. Although both can be used to mean imaginary or fabricated, fictional is often used to describe imaginative works of art and things relating to them. A science-fiction novel, for instance, is fictional, as are its characters and story. Fictitious usually means, more generally, imaginary or fabricated, without necessarily referring to fictional works of art. For example, a nonexistent illness one invents to get out of work is fictitious.
