Music Magazine

Why do music fans prefer music magazines to other sources?

 

In my opinion I prefer to read information from the internet instead of a magazine because it’s a quick and easy way of finding information and it is also free. Also on the sides on the webpage it usually tells you about other websites you may be interested in and other songs/artists.

Other music fans may disagree with me for many reason for example, people may like to collect magazines and make sure they have every one of them so that they know they haven’t missed any of the gossip and information about their favourite bands and artists.

Another reason people may prefer to read magazines is because the reader can look back over and read it again whenever they want, and the information will never change. However on the internet the information can always change and you don’t know whether you have already read the information or whether it has been updated, also when they put the next week or month’s edition up you will no longer be able to see the previous weeks.

A further reason is that a computer or laptop is very unreliable for many reasons, for example; the internet may stop working, your laptop may have to go into repair, and the internet may not allow the webpage. Therefore it  is much easier for people to buy it from a local shop because they are almost 99% guaranteed to also be open at opening times, also the magazine will always be published on time so the customers are always guaranteed to be able to purchase the magazine.

Another reason is that not all customers have the internet and online resources, therefore they may purchase the information as a magazine because overall it is cheaper than paying for internet; one of the most popular magazines is Rolling Stones and it costs about 5 pounds. Also you can order the magazines; therefore it is already paid for and comes straight to your door every week/month so there is no responsibility to check the website or anything.

Finally, the customers may prefer to read a magazine instead of look on the internet because the internet can be confusing as there are lots of different tabs and pieces of writing all over the page and has a lot of irrelevant information that may be easier to just read it off of a page which is no hassle.
