6. Why did I choose pop?
• I chose to pick pop as the genre for my magazine
because I am interested in this genre more than
any of the other genres.
• Also I read a lot of interviews with pop stars so
this will help me create a suitable magazine
double page spread, cover and contents page.
• I will also be able to ask a lot of ‘pop’ fans about
what they would like to see me do for my own
magazine so this can help me create the best
magazine I can make.
