Story Ideas

From the analysis that I have done, the double page spread stories in magazines can be easily separated into two different categories.

One) Question and answer articles-These are articles where the artists simply answer questions on their lives and what they do for a living. This type of article would make my magazine sell more copies as most people in the target audience for my magazine would be interested in celebrity gossip. This type of article can simply be written as questions and answers, or can be as a whole article with the questions and answers included within paragraphs of other information.

Two) Informative articles-These articles are when the magazine has not been able to do an interview with a person, so would simply describe the story that they are doing and use quotes that the artist would have previously made.

As I the double page spread is the main article of my magazine I am going to be using the question and answer type article for my magazine.

Magazine articles ain to inform and entertain readers. There are many different subjects that the article could be about. I have thought of five possible subjects.

One) New album out.

Two) Love, Heartbreak and her double platinum life.

Three) New band that have reformed.

I have decided to do the majority of my article on option two, as I think that this would be the one that would attract the reader’s attention the most, however I have also decided to use the new album as part of my article.
