Cover lines:

The cover lines on a magazine have to be related to the genre of the magazine, and to the paticular issue. The cover lines are all about music and are specifically chosen to appeal to the paticular target audience. The coverlines have to be of interest to the reader and have to be something they want to read. The paticular audience of NME is young teenagers upwards, so the stories have to be about bands or singers that they like and listen to. One of the stories is about Muse laying in Wembley, this is appropriate because it is suitable for the magazine, you couldn't have a cover line talking about new school subjects as it wouldn't be suitable for the genre of the magazine, and it wouldn't appeal to the target audience.
