2. UNCUT Front covers Masthead: Bold and noticeable. “World exclusive” – To hook the audience and attract potential buyers. ‘Callouts’- Intrigues the reader to read the full article. Cover lines: The smaller articles which are less noticable but entice the readers more. Free CDs: A freebie of the music genre the magazine promotes encourages the reader to buy the magazine.

4. The music they feature is mainly Americana, rock and alternative country, both old and new.

5. Uncut focus their monthly magazine on males aged 25-45 with their average reader aged 37.

6. Editor Allan Jones started out with the idea of aiming the magazine at a younger audience compared to his last magazine

7. Uncut’s music genre that they promote is stereotypically listened by men of that age, considering that the bands were created around the years that their readers were growing up.

9. This was a further decrease to the reported monthly circulation drop in the first half of 2007, with a drop of 90, 000 to just 75, 518 by the end of 2009.

11. Uncut has been named the most authoritative music and movie magazine. It offers facts, interviews and reviews thoroughly on both music and films. Allowing their readers to gain access to lots of information in just one magazine.

12. Uncut offer the chance to annually subscribe to their magazine, with the fact that subscribing to the magazine saves the customer 40% instead of if they bought the magazine individually each month.

13. They offer subscriptions on a quarterly basis, or for one or two years.

15. The editor of the magazine is Allan Jones. He started out as a music journalist but left his career in order to become the editor of uncut in 1997, and still retains that position today. The magazine is made the way any magazine is made. They probably use software similar to that of Photoshop. When printing a magazine, the paper used to print the magazine is probably larger than your average A4 size so that the image of the magazine can be printed right to the edge by cutting out the non printed part.

16. Usually when a magazine is purchased, a media pack is provided. On the website of Uncut, the media pack was downloadable and it provides information on advertising on the magazine and it also states statistics on the income etc... On the website there are articles that can be read, however compared to the magazine, it isn’t as detailed. Online there is a section in which you can purchase and download the magazine issues digitally. UNCUT Online
