One of the earliest music magazines.
The Etude was a U.S. magazine dedicated to music, which was founded by Theodore Presser (1848–1925) at Lynchburg, Virginia, and first published in October 1883. In 1884, Presser moved his publishing headquarters to Philadelphia, and his Theodore Presser Company continued the magazine until 1957. -

Billboard music magazine
The 'Billboard' magazine is largely associated chart music. The layout has changed dramatically since it was first published in 1894, from the font, layout, images and colours. I feel the target audience would be from 12-30, both genders. I feel this way as there are all sorts of diffent music genres involved therefore a wider audience will be interested. The layout has always been quite neat and attractive, therefore this would attract a younger audience as it is eyecatching to them. -
Magazines becoming popular.
By 1900 major advertisers were pouring money into all of the popular magazines. By the early 1900s the physical appearance of magazines was transformed by the new dry–plate processes by which pictures, line drawings and photographs could be printed. At this time, newspapers and books were the main competitors of magazines. But a new mass medium was on the horizon, one that did not require reading. -
Longest running music magazine, 'NME'.
Music magazines were very prolific in the United Kingdom, with the NME (short for New Musical Express) leading sales since its first issue in 1952. NME had a longstanding rival in Melody Maker, an even older publication; however, by 2001, falling circulation and the rise of internet music sites caused the Melody Maker to be absorbed into its old rival and cease publishing. Several other British magazines such as Select and Sounds also folded between 1990 and 2000. -
NME music magazine
The 'NME' magazine is largely associated with rock and indie music. They have a consistent layout which has been similar since it was puplished in 1952, that being bold font used for the title, a large image of the band or singer and different sized text overlapping the image. I feel the target audience would be from 16-35, both genders. I feel this way as there are lots of facts and 'gossip' about the current celebritys which people of those ages are interested in. -
The internet.
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone calls, two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. -
How the internet is affecting music magazines.
It is thought that almost all music magazines will eventually go purely electronic. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Already, nearly 40% of tablet owners read digital newspapers or magazines, with nearly 10% doing so daily. People may stop buying music magazines as they have now a cheaper alternative, for example reading online and listening to the radio. -
Rolling stone magazine.
The 'rollinstone' magazines are of the genre rock/pop. they have a consistent layout which has been similar since it was puplished in 1967, that being the same red font used for the title, a large image of the (usually) celeberity, and different sized text overlapping the image. I feel the target audience would be from 16-25, male and female. I feel this way as the layout is quite current and 'attractive', also the models are usually celebritys which the target audience know of and idolise. -
How music magazines have changed over time.
Music magazines have changed drastically over time, when they first were around everything was black and white, very vague and the layout was not as well thought through. Now, typical music magazines are colourful, vibrant, detailed and well thought through. -
Number of music magazines.
There are roughley around 108 different types of music magazines currently. They range from every type of genres. -
