In what way does your Media Product use, develop or change forms and conventions of real Media Products.

Other features include banners at both the bottom and the top of the article which include bands that are featured inside the article.
Also we have a main sell line: "Red Tuesday Return!" and below sell lines that include the following:
-Exclusive 2 page Interview
-Our top 10 local acts of 2013
-2 Free limited edition posters
