Product mentions in magazines

How does one go about getting products or services mentioned in magazines?

Paging through some magazines, I notice that there's usually a page or two near the front where new products or services are featured, kinda like a "what's hot" section.

My question is, is this placement paid for or is it the editorial team choosing things they like which they think will fit their readership?

Thanks.
