Lesson 12: 03-03-09
In todays lesson we had to write an exam style essay under timed conditions, about the magazines print and online versions and how they target their specific audiences.
This enabled us to think carefully about how the online versions of the music magazines offer many other aspects than what is avaliable in the printed versions. I found that the music magazine of NME- New Musical Express, had a lot more video footage of the music agenda and had a lot more interactivity than the printed version. The printed versions of all magazines are going to be limited in what they can offer as many of them are only weekly, if not monthly issues. Therefore, the most up to date news about music is going to be shown on the online versions and through E-Mail newsletters where avaliable.
This task helped me to think about how the different magazines portray different aspects in each version of their music news. It enables me to think how many magazines keep the same style on the online version, and how different the information can be in both the printed and online versions.

One reason for being faithful to print versions is the ability to read the magazine over and over again and also access the information anywhere (you can't read on-line inthe bath).
