Answer:

All the elements in the sample share a common characteristic. All of them read the magazine, so we may have a biased sample. And we also have the bias of the fact that only the volunteers will respond to this survey, so this is a biased sample.

This type of sample is usually called convenience sampling, where the elements in the sample are the most readily available (and what is most readily available for a magazine than its own readers?)

Then the type of sample is a convenience sample and a biased sample.
