The document summarizes the typical structure and content of a Q magazine. It begins with advertisements targeting the magazine's audience. It then includes a contents page, welcome letter, recommendations, and letters from readers. The bulk of the magazine consists of features on popular musicians like Lady Gaga and Adam Ant, interviews, reviews of new albums and films, and a main feature story. It closes with advertisements of upcoming tours and merchandise.

Gaga has a very broad audience so is a good appearance in Q
which also has a significant wide audience. Another page
includes a punk band which is called Pussy Riot. This asks a
rhetorical questions, whether they are the greatest punks
ever. The same page also includes some count down lists
