In this task I had to analyse an article from a magazine, I chose this article to see what professional properties but also what I would say would make it better. Some other things that I think are important to think about are:

• Up to date information
• Fashion ideas / new looks
• Gaining an insight into stars’ lives and personalities
• A reflection of their own values, attitudes and beliefs

These were the options from the sample articles that we had to choose from :

• Biography
• Intro to a long read
• 10 Tips for Life
• Q&A
• New Band
• Album Reviews
• Interview

Cash For Questions is the article I am analyzing, This was released on 11th July in 2017, the band they were focusing on was ALT-J. This article was written by Paul Stokes and the photography included was taken by Adam Lawrence. The structure of this article is set out as a Q&A, this is clear to see as they have made the questions in bold then have the answers below with the person who is speaking in bold. In they introduction they talk about them in the third person as well as in the questions but when they have the answers to the questions they talk in first person. This impacts the reader because it gives them new knowledge that they haven’t heard before. There is a clear introduction to the article however they don’t a conclusion which would be something that they would need to add.

The interviewer shows the band easy going and pleasant, this may impact the reader by looking at the band differently and liking them more if they think they’re more relatable.
