1. Music Magazines in the uk

2. I started to research music magazines on the internet to
see what magazines are out in circulation however most
of them are international magazines. The international
magazines wont be very helpful as my magazine will be
for the target audience of UK residents. I went to an
actual magazine shop to see if it was the same as the
internet as a shop is more reliable than the internet.
From this research I discovered that there is a range of
music magazines out there for different genres. Some of
the most popular magazines are Mojo, Kerrang and Q
however there are many music magazine being
published that are unheard of. I will do more research
into music magazines and this will help me when I come
to create my magazine.
