Bauer Media Group is diversified media conglomerate because they own multiple different media brands, aimed at different target audiences. For example, they make magazines like 'Empire', for people who like movies, and they make a magazines like 'Mojo', for people who like rock music. The magazine industry is mostly owned by publishing companies, rather than the very large media conglomerates such as Disney, Amazon and Netflix that dominate film and television media worldwide. Most magazines are struggling in a competitive market so this media form (print) may be best managed by owners who specialise in the print medium. However , magazine publishing is globalised , like other media, with the most popular magazine brands (as measured by the National Readership Survey) in the hands of a few international companies .

Whereas ‘Top of the Pops’ uses colour as it is targeted at a broader audience, and younger readers. Also, ‘Top of the Pops’ uses language where anyone could understand it. For example, as one of the cover lines, they call the segment of the magazine ‘cow pats, curries and cringes.’ Using ‘cow pat’ is going to show that this magazine is will be aimed at a younger, less mature, and less formal target buyers.

The background, most of the cover and the clothes of the artist are quite dull, as well his facial expression doesn't say much. However, the main cover line and puff is colourful and goes with the artists funky hair style. T...
