What makes a good article feature?
Throughout all the answers, the most talked about item was a informal interview with out of the ordinary questions are used just as much as conventional questions about the band/artist work. Other popular items consisted of a good image the takes up a whole page and on the opposite page smaller images with the interview wrote around it. On person wrote they like it to be simplistic and not to hectic on the page which would be a good approach for a indie type genre magazine, but not a alternative rock style magazine.

Favourite music magazine?
Kerrang was chosen by a land slide with 18 people choosing this magazine as their personal favourite. The other two that were chosen were Rocksound and NME

Why do you purchase music magazines?
The main point made out of all the results was purely because of a love for music. However, more interestingly, alot of people stated that it helped them choose outfits and clothing to fit into there friend groups (which says to me that images in magazines are extremely importand and I could get a deal with a clothing lable to place an artist in a certain brand and create profit from them), making the purchase of a certain type of magazine VERY important on a social stand point.

Other answers consisted of getting to know the artists through interviews and images.
