What is the music press?

The music press plays a major part in the advertisement and publicity of new upcoming music/artists as well as the continuous promotion of old and current music/artists maintaining their popularity. The music press is very wide sector it involves music Channels such as MTV, VIVA, Channel AKA etc music magazines such as The source, Billboard, Rolling Stone all Music magazine, that promote current and upcoming artists it also contains the latest gossip on the artists as well. All of this is done to keep the world wanting more and more, boosting their publicity, leaving the hungry world wanting to know the ins and outs of their favourite celebrities lives.

I have decided that the direction of my main task will be towards a R&B / Hip-Hop style magazine I decided to base most of my research on the Internet on websites and music clips that focus and revolve around this style of music.
Theses online magazines have given me ideas to put in m own magazine and also to conclude what type of target audience I would like to portray my magazine too.
