magazine research

1. Research Competitors

2. BILLBOARD
Billboard magazine’s main focus is on
the top charts of the week. It is an
American magazine, but since I would
cover a wider range of music then I
could lose some of my audience to
them. This means that my magazine
would have to have, not only the top
charts, but something else that the
population would be interested in.

3. ROLLING STONE
Rolling Stone magazine has a vast
range of content. It looks at television
programs, films, and music of this
generation. I would have to have bits of
information about actors and music
artist that would interest the youths of
today.

4. NME
NME magazine focuses mainly on rock,
indie, and alternative music. This covers
quite a range, but since my magazine
would have no limitations then it could
steal some of NME’s audience if I offer
more. I could cater to the new up
coming bands as well as the main
figures of today.
