The industry

Magazines need to make money to keep production going. There are three major methods that this is done.

1. over the counter sales. these make up a small cost of the magazine production.

2. Subscriptions: These make up a small percentage of the money that they make. The subscriptions make more than the individual purchases by a long shot. however this does not cover the complete cost required for the magazine.

3. advertisements: these make up 80% of the magazines money.  Adverts placed around the magazine cost companies loads to put there.

4. overall media coverage. These are like events such as music awards, and smaller awards events
