2. GENRE The Genre I would like to base my music magazine is on pop. The magazine I want to base it on is Q magazine. As its genre is pop and is very sophisticated in the way it presents its magazine. I like how even though the genre is pop it varies in genre and shows diversity and difference. Here are a few examples of Q magazines:
3. Popular music is used in many different formats of media. TELEVISION: MTV HITS, THE BOX, Q. WEBSITES: MTV, Q, NME. MAGAZINES: Q, TOP OF THE POPS.
4. Bauer Media Have many different types of media for the popular music genre. Television:4music, smash hits, the hits, kiss, Q, the box. Magazine:Q is the only popular music genre Bauer does but kerrang! Is also under bauer media. Radio: The hits, Q, smash hits and the kiss. Online:4music, smash hits, the hits, kiss, Q and the box.
5. It is published once a month at the cost of on average £3.99 depending on the edition. You can subscribe to the magazine which means you can have limited edition covers. On average there is about 160 pages in the magazine. The sales figures from July-December 2008 was 103,017.
6. Success Has expanded from magazine to television, radio and internet, has even released music albums. Holds a yearly awards ceremony. Q related to charitable organisations such has anti war and anti poverty.
7. Failures Critics and readers believed Q has lost its edge. Critics believe Q is far too generous on British Musicians. Many musicians criticised the magazine such as Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) by giving an award to Take that. Criticised for the refusal of putting artist, Steven Hogarth on front cover.
