My chosen genre...

For my magazine I have chosen to focus on Alternative Rock. I have chosen this because it is a genre I am interested in but however, think it will be a challenge to create a music magazine based on this genre.

Example of an Alternative Rock magazine:

Magazine: Q
Release: Monthly
First issue released: October 1986
Country: UK
Total Circulation (First half of of 2011): 80, 418

Even though many of Q's front covers have been typical alternative rock artists such as Snow Patrol, Oasis, Florence and the Machine and Coldplay. Some however, have been other artists such as Adele, Jessie J, Cheryl Cole and Lady GaGa.
