Q - General Analysis

The next magazine I am going to analyse is Q magazine. It is published monthly in the United Kingdom and has been running since 1986. The magazine is published byGerman publishers, Bauer Media Group. They are also the publishers of popular magazines heat, FHM and Kerrang! According to them, the magazine was initially going to be called 'Cue' however it was changed prior to release so as not to confuse the magazine with a snooker one. The magazine is mainly aimed at people who are into indie, rock and alternative music. The magazine costs £3.99 with a circulation of 94,811. The readership of the magazine is far greater as people tend to share magazines and allow others to read them. This figure shows that over 700,000 people read the magazine roughly after each issue is published. Their target audience is predominantly men, however both sexes do read the magazine. Their website is http://www.qthemusic.com/.
