From all the research that I have carried out so far I have received a lot of information regarding the music magazine industry. The background/context section will be crucial for when it comes to my next sections. I have learnt about magazines and the history of magazines, as well as this I learnt about the key concepts of magazines which I will be applying to my magazine when I start to create it and I also looked into various different genres of music such as pop, rock, hiphop, electric and many more. By having a deeper insight into the different genres, it will help me decide what genre I want my music magazine to be. In addition, I have learnt that there is not just one type of music magazines, there are magazines for all different genres of music.
For example, NME is for rock and indie music, Billboard is for the pop genre and XXL is a hip hop magazine.
I have learnt that the magazine industry is very big industry, however the income for magazine companies is decreasing due to the fact that the majority of the information can also be found on the internet. To try and resolve this problem, magazine companies have come up with solutions such as making it able for people to have online magazine subscriptions and also have special editions of magazines which can only be purchased in a physical copy rather than online.
A good summary of what you have learnt, including examples. Well done.
