As a DJ, this information is invaluable in seeing how the music reviews and editorial coverage impacts what people at concerns and events I work. Rolling Stone covers the more mainstream hip hop, house music, soul and on occasion, indie bands. SPIN is much bolder in their content and is more effective in attracting younger readers who want to be on the cutting edge of the music scene. Figure q: SPIN Network Demographic Analysis shows the results of analyzing the SPIN website using Quantcast.

3. Try to sum up the editorial mission of each of these magazines, and explain how that mission is accomplished in its pages.
SPIN is an edgy, opinionated publication that seeks...
The editorial mission is also designed to become a topical, useful reference for DJs who are mixing hip hop, house music, rock and indie music as well. SPIN also has an urgency to its content; the publication looks to create excitement about the up-and-coming musicians and rock stars globally known.
Rolling Stone's editorial mission is broader, and has progressed over the years to become more of a newspaper for the musical industry than being focused entirely on emerging musical acts and their latest records. Rolling Stone has also gone more mainstream and is also more politically minded than it the past, devoting more pages to the election than SPIN for example. As Rolling Stone caters to a bigger audience, they are not as edgy and direct in how they communicate as SPIN does.

Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser PR Campaign LOVE BEER. My favorite brand is by far Anheuser-Busch's top selling brand -- Budweiser. Or do I love beer?

It was an era in which the culture of America was being shaped from that point on. Feminism sparked in the 1970s, but so too did the punk movement. Before that rock ‘n’ roll had
