Examples Of Magazines

As starting the project, I choose the starting points of researching different magazines that i found interesting, as I'm a music lover of rock, alter-punk and electronic music. I think I should pick on the ones that matches with my type of music and style. NME, Mixmag and Kerrang! are the ones that appeal to me most. For the critical investigation I'm going to research the ways how music magazine changed and diversified during the years and how music magazine are getting less readers due to the internet. Whereas for my coursework I'm going to create a short magazine similar to the ones I like including articles such as interviews, live review, top charts sort of stuffs.

NME (New Musical Express) is the UK's biggest magazine seller around the 60's and till now, it's a British music magazine that was first publish in March 1952. Between the beginning to end had so much difference such as the first magazine was in a tabloid format on newsprint to glossy front page and internet for readers to interact with the

magazine.
