The entertaining monthly music publication Uncut is aimed towards music and movie fanatics. In fact, it is targeting the older male (30+) and the lengthy articles suggest it is aimed towards people with spare time to engage with the magazine. Extended articles and reviews are the primary features of this magazine with the main cover story spread over twelve pages. These lengthy articles are descriptive and provide insight into great rock music from The Rolling Stones to more recent artists and musical festivals. The magazine is wordy but employs black and white photos to illustrate the importance of influential artists and encourages the reader to remember their youth. Cinema reviews and adverts for the targeted audience such as laptops are also incorporated, and with each issue of Uncut the fans are given a free CD and a pass to remember their youth and gain knowledge about new and legendary artists.

This is a pretty good review although some would find that the suggestion that over 30s are older males hits a raw nerve :-)
ReplyDeleteAs a whole your blogs are, clear, concise and interesting. You have used relevant theorists when necessary and employ good examples to support your arguments. You occasionally have a tendency to stray from the question at hand but overall this is a good set of blogs.
