Looking again at NME my orginial magazine I deconstructed I can these.
Information
"finding out about relevant events and conditions in immediate surroundings, society and the world"
When looking at music magazines the relevant events are those of music festivals and gigs. People are informed of the gigs and festivals and events in music that are happening. The society and the world is that of the music industry and the demographic of music magazines, they their own music society. An example in NME is the advertising of future gigs and upcoming events. EG putting tour posters in the magazine.

The media is used to entertain the demographic. This is the case in music magazines as well as informing, people can be entertained by them. They can divert people away from their problems because they have a distraction and think about other things. It fills time and relaxes people because they can sit and enjoy reading and finding out information about music.
