The Journal is your best source for citing as it is usually peer-reviewed by experts in the field. Magazine and newspaper articles are not subject to such rigor and as a result can be opinions of the author that may not necessarily be supported by scientific literature. An informative bulletin is also limited to the views of the author and organisation and not peer reviewed.

Magazine" is often used to describe a popular periodical like Time or People. “Journal” is used to describe a scholarly periodical that is written by experts. Journal articles tend to be longer and provide extensive citations to additional research.
Journals contain original research; newspapers and magazines may refer to research studies, but do not contain original research.
You should cite the reliable sources which are books and good jounal articles. There are many fake/predatory journals out there!. You may check this cite:

Dear Rosa, there are differences between journal and magazine. for instance, journal has specialized readers, while magazine has general readership; magazine provides the information, while journal is more concentrated on scientific and academic researches; articles in magazine are written with "popular" (non-technical) language, while journal uses special terminology.
For a reader, journals (in general) are more focused towards a research and contribution, while magazines (in general) pretty often aim at building the basics and are more explanatory. Magazines are great for novice or a beginner, whereas journals are popular among those who have good grasp about the subject(s) of interest.
