Music magazines have long been seen as a way of creating a relationship between bands and fans, therefore they contain information that is of a large interest to these fans in order to make their magazine more popular. Due to this publication of magazines can produce a large amount of profit, making the marketing of the magazine very important.
The NME magazine is usually priced at around £2.30 per issue and is published by weekly. Meaning the reason for it being cheaper than others is due to the fact that in order for fans to but this magazine on a weekly basis it has to have a reasonable price. Also with it being produced weekly it is not going to have as many pages as a monthly magazine, meaning NME only has around 75 pages for each issue.
Kerrang is another example of a rock magazine and is usually priced at around £2.20 per issue meaning it is also a weekly magazine and is at a cheaper price like NME for the same reasons of attracting a wider audience. This magazine only has around 63 pages.
