Independent: Free Press ModelPaper Quality is cheap
Money is made on advertising only so cheaper quality of paper is used to keep the cost down and to ensure that the money goes towards printing costs and paying contributors
More Adverts Only way of making revenue and so the adverts are plentiful
Adverts are suited to the audience
Whilst there are more adverts they are usually in keeping with the target audience and centred around music and the interests of the reader. For example music festivals and Bido Lito! Use local venues in their advertisements
Less well known artistes
Greater access to up and coming bands than “stars” often target audiences who are interested in the fresh bands rather than those always on the radio or in other press.
Selective Content Only include artistes they want to write about, there front page cannot be bought.
Corporate Vs Independent

Corporate: Paid forGlossier more polished finish
More revenue from both advertising and sales so they can afford to create this finish. Greater anticipation of sales through the regular sales figures from retailers so they can anticipate demand.
Well Known Artistes
People are more likely to pay for information about well known artists than unknown or unsigned artistes on the front cover. It makes the magazine seem more exclusive if they have a big star on the cover.
Less Adverts Revenue can be made elsewhere so there is less emphasis on advertisement s
Adverts are more global
More adverts from high quality global brands as they have a wider distribution. Less concern for the integrity of the content, so may find advertisements for cars etc…not exclusive to music
Free Gifts/Poster
Giveaways can be afforded as incentives to buy the magazine
