Content Page Analysis

Q Music Magazine Q is a popular music magazine published monthly in the United Kingdom. The founders of this magazine are Mark Ellen and David Hepworth who were dismayed by the music press of the time, which they felt was ignoring a generation of older music buyers who were buying CDs- which was then a new technology.

Q was first published by the EMAP media group. It was to be called “Cue” but the name was changed so it wouldn’t be mistaken for a snooker magazine- also, a single letter title would be more prominent on newsstands.
