Music Magazine I Have Read/Bought
XXL

 Magazine Name: THE SOURCE

 Publisher: L.Londell McMillan

 Target Audience: I think the target audience is people interested in Hip Hop. It has quite a lot of explicit photos so its defiantly a 18+ magazine. Also their are a lot of pictures of cars and adverts about smoking, I think this is good because most Hip Hop influenced people tend to smoke and drive flashy cars. Another thing is that it is a very sexual orientated magazine also confirming that its for an adult audience.-

 Genre: Hip Hop

 Main Artists Featured: Ludacris,  Ghostface Killah, Nas, Ice Cube

 A Selection Of Article Subjects: Ludacris interview, Ghostface Killah interview Sexology

The importance of advertising

Advertising is a favourable representation of a product to make consumers, customers and general public aware of the product. It lets the potential buyers, general public and end users to be aware and familiar with the brands, their goods and services.

Advertising also creates goodwill and helps in building a brands image in the market.

Repeated advertisements makes brands very popular. Generally, people tend to show a more trustworthy attitude towards advertised brands over non advertised ones. Well known branded products are usually made from high quality raw materials, hence they are always preferred by most  consumers. 

Aim: To consider how magazine staff are divided in terms oftheirskills.To identify which skills are needed to do particular jobsinthepublishing industry.

The Publishing Sector In The UK

The Publishing industry employs over 195,000 people, representing approximatly 36% of the crative media workforce.

• 51,000 people employed in the news paper sector
• 50,500 work in journals and magazines
• 33,000 in the book industry
• 12,000 in other information service activities

The magazine I compared this with was NME. The jobs listed are different because NME has a lot more sections in their departments, meaning that NME work is a lot more spread around the business, putting less pressure on the individual workers.
