I decided to focus on MOJO Magazine. Let me brief you on MOJO's mission and what they offer to the music magazine industry.
MOJO Magazine is for rock lovers but they do dab into classic rock. The typical age would be 35 and over for both genders. The artists they most focus on; Boy Dylan, The White Stripes, Guns and Roses and many more. The ideology of MOJO is showing its value as they're allot of classical rock artists out there. MOJO Magazine focuses more on having articles rather than writing reviews of gigs and festivals like Kerrang Magazine.
Here is a screen shot of MOJO Magazine's Mission Statement from Slideshare - http://www.slideshare.net/HeworthMedia1/inside-nme-and-mojo

The MOJO Reader
This is a screenshot of MOJO's reader. Collectively i gathered that males are 73.1% of the reader, this tells me that the magazine is mostly male orientated. I also found out that the popular age range is 45-54 as they had the highest percentage rate (28.8%) with the age ranging from 15 - 65+. Those are the things i picked up on.

MOJO Magazine was initially published by Emap but since January 2008 Bauer are now the official publishers. Bauer Media Group is a multinational media company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Which operates in sixteen different countries worldwide. Other than publishing MOJO Magazine.
