reflection point: what have I learned about independent music magazine websites?

 from the research which I have taken on independent magazine websites, I have learnt that these independent websites, are cool and quirky discovers which amplify the individual work done in order to create and produce this source of media. They often discover new artists and genres that aren't always seen in the mainstream media spotlight. for example, representing and working together with these individual new artists help to support and advertise their own music to persuade and convince the consumers / readers of the magazine to go and listen to their music. 

As well as this, I have also learnt from analyzing magazine websites that they often feature reviews and interviews which gives us an insight into the creative processes of up and coming talents. With this being inside the magazine it helps the consumers gain an overall understanding on what this magazine is going to be about. For example, reading through to see the genres and topics present will help them in order to gain the general knowledge of the glimpse they are exposed with. 

In conclusion to this overall, I have gained the knowledge on the reasons and hints which are present within the magazine which are done with a purpose to get across to their target audience that this magazine will interest them front the different content included.
