think this is not evident as the

of a tabloid typed magazine, so
I would have expected it to be
produced weekly.

It has a wider reading audience
than some of the other rock
magazines that are more specific
to a certain genre of music.

16. Rolling stones magazine is mainly centred around
music however it also incudes information regarding
TV and politics and popular culture. The magazine is
published every two weeks. Some would say this is
evident as the paper quality and all around visual
appearance of the magazine suggests that it is
similar to a tabloid.
