Negativity in local newspapers
The document discusses how newspapers tend to report more negative news stories than positive ones. It analyzes the front pages of three local newspapers and finds that the majority of stories on each were negative. Examples given include stories about criminal acts like a hammer attack and rapists being jailed. Only one positive story was identified, about a royal couple visiting one of the towns. The document concludes that local newspapers demonstrate a clear preference for negative news over positive news in what they choose to feature prominently.
Evaluation
The magazine aims to represent 16-25 year olds interested in indie and rock music. It uses conventions from real magazines like NME, such as featuring artists on the cover, but also challenges conventions by using original photography. The target audience would enjoy reading about music festivals, fashion, and new artists. The magazine would be distributed by IPC Media and sold in stores like WHSmith, HMV, and corner shops to be convenient for its target audience.
Planning- Elise
The majority of people surveyed preferred pop music, but the magazine will focus on indie music as it was the second most popular genre and easiest to feature in photographs. Respondents said the front cover and featured artists would influence them to buy the magazine. They wanted the magazine to advertise its content prominently and include upcoming festival information and artist interviews. Most did not think free gifts would increase music magazine purchases since cosmetic items usually given do not relate well to music.

EVALUATION
The document describes a student's music magazine media product. The student used conventions from real music magazines like NME, including featuring an artist on the front cover. However, the student also challenged some conventions by using their own photography on the cover to make it seem more realistic. The target audience is described as males and females aged 16-25 interested in rock and indie music. The student believes IPC Media would be a suitable distributor as they already distribute magazines like NME. The student learned various technologies through creating the magazine, including Photoshop, Fireworks, and how to edit images. They reflect that their skills have progressed from the preliminary task to the full magazine product.
beggining of evaluation
The magazine uses conventions from real music magazines like NME, such as featuring artists on the cover and including articles about new musical talent. However, it also challenges some conventions by using original photography on the cover and not including freebies. The magazine represents social groups like college students and young workers aged 16-25 by using models in that age range and portraying an "indie" style that stands out from other magazines through its unique presentation and variety of rock/indie artists featured.
Radial analysis
The document provides an analysis of a magazine cover and article about John Lennon. It notes that the large image of Lennon combined with the dramatic title and minimal text makes for an eye-catching cover. The use of red text and black and white imagery creates a somber mood fitting for the 30th anniversary of Lennon's death. Within the article, close-up images of Lennon in black and white further connect him to the past and the magazine's tone.
Questionnaire results
Most people buy magazines on a monthly basis due to magazines typically being published monthly rather than weekly. A survey found that images are the main focus of music magazine covers, followed by color and font, and that having a celebrity on the cover increases the likelihood that students will read the magazine. While 60% of students surveyed read music magazines, 15% said a celebrity would not impact their decision to buy an issue, showing that some consumers focus on content over celebrities.
