5. When typing in ‘Q Magazine Front Cover’ into Google, the majority
of the artists that are present on the front cover of the magazine are
white and only 2 black artists are displayed. This creates an issue of
prejudice that Q magazine has towards black artists and how they
are stereotypically indicating to audiences that they are targeting
white people only. Moreover, connoting that Q are therefore
narrowing their audience depending on which ethnicity is right for Q
magazine. Linking to the IPSO Editors Code of Practice, a complaint
based upon prejudice could result in Q being prosecuted under the
laws that Q and Bauer Media adhere to.
