Today I have looked into the typical stories found in music magazines. From reading a few different issues from music magazines, mostly the article consists of an interview with the artist. For example from the first magazine on the right featuring the interviewer asks "what defines a rock star" and this is important because It helps the artist to talk about a specific thing that the interviewer wants and that's related to the magazine, as this magazines genre is rock so the question will relate to rock fans which will make them interested and want to read on. In the second magazine featuring Nicki Minaj the article relates to the theme of the issue "Gospel according to Nicki Minaj". This is shown in the headings of each sections of interview because they are in the style of biblical commandments, for example "Thou shall walk tall" this is effective because it keeps a consistent theme running through the magazine which is professional. From looking at these articles I know now that to create a successful magazine article I need to make sure that the questions asked to the artist are relevant to the magazines genre and theme. So when I come to create my music magazines article I will need to carefully consider my questions in order to convey specific information about the artist.
