Ideology

' Ideology is a difficult - but important - concept to grasp. Simply put, it is the ideas behind a media text, the secret (or sometimes not-so secret) agenda of its producers. It is important to be able to identify the different ideological discourses that may be present in even an apparently simple photograph.
In sociological terms, ideology is a body of ideas or set of beliefs that underpins a process or institution and leads to social relations. These sets of beliefs are those held by groups within society, and the prevalent ones are those held by the ruling/dominant groups.'

Introduction

This is the first blog of my music magazine coursework project. Over the course of this blog, I will show you how i have been building up ideas for my music magazine.
The bands that i am interested in are: Jimi Hendrix, Newton Falkner, Queen and Linkin Park.
The most natural choice of magazine for me is Classic Rock.
Classic Rock is a magazine for people who like Classic Rock or bands like Queen, Led Zepplin and Def Leppard.
