Magazine Project-Research

One of the magazines I observed during my research was a basketball magazine called SLAM. The magazine's cover usually features a popular basketball player. For example, on the magazine's cover there is a picture of  Lonzo, Lamelo, and LiAngelo Ball side-by-side each in their team's jersey. This picture is meant to go along with the main story which tells readers about the Ball family's success over the past year. The articles in the magazine are mostly informative about what is going on in the sport of basketball, but there is also plenty of articles in which writers debate over certain topics in basketball. The ads in the magazine usually display products that basketball players and fans would be interested such as shoes, clothes, and gear. Advertisements appear after every couple of articles and take up a full page. The magazine has not won any awards yet.
