AudienceInformation

Music magazines are a source of information for an audience, they tell them about up and coming events, review past events and let the readers know about the music and what is soon to be coming

out. Alongside that, they give interviews of the artist and give stories on their lives. For example, top of the pops gives detailed interviews on the artist opinions about life and society rather than their music

so it is more personal to that artistPersonal identity

Music magazines give a range of artist to add variety to the content. This enables more people to become interested and therefore they receive a wider target market.

Integration and social InteractionThe interviews give an insight into what the lives of the celebrities are like. This relates to the readers and makes then feel at one with the artist. Also, people identify with the artists. For example a young

girl reading about Demi Lovato may relate to her issues and they then see her as a role model.Entertainment

The magazines are an escape from the real world for some. Reading about someone else's problems make your own feel smaller for a bit and this is the relaxation that the audience wants. Having pictures of celebrities gives a sense of sexual arousal for some. This is relieved by looking at the pictures in the

magazines and gives them an emotional release.
