Research into institutions-King Magazine

There used to be music magazines that were proven to be popular but now due to the internet music magazines became less popular. The only music magazine which i came across when researching was King Magazine.

King Magazine was mostly targetted towards African American and Urban men. King was published by Hams Publications and was a spin off from XXL. The articles featured were about hip hop a d R&B but it also featured and covered sports and fashion. However on March 31st 2009 the magazine stopped being publicised this was because of failing advertisement sales.

The magazine was most recognised by its provocative and extravagant photo shoots which entailed women being half naked and it often included an interview with the featured model.

The women in the magazines ranged from professional models to actresses and singing artists. The covers often featured rappers but mainly consisted of female models and rappers such as Keyshia Cole or Lil Kim.

Another name which the magazine was reffered to was "The Black Maxim."
