NME

For the past couple of years NME have received a lot of flack for drowning in the mainstream and for going downhill in recent times. But I love NME, I love popping down to the shop and seeing one of my favourite bands on the cover - sometimes even getting free posters. The biggest news in music is always printed across the front page, written about greatly within the pages and covered as much as one story can be covered; take the Stone Roses reunion, Noel Gallagher's return to music, Amy Winehouse's death, the passing of Malcolm McLaren, the great anniversaries that occur, and many other great stories that have all of us music fans talking, the NME are always there to feed us more information.

The interviews that are in there have always inspired me, from day one, to go into music journalism. The first time I ever picked up an NME it had Green Day on the cover with a free Liam Gallagher poster inside, leafing through the pages I knew that, as I read the printed lettering, I was going to enter a world of music and live in that scene. The journalists at NME appear to be a great bunch of people that genuinely have a love for music and who want to get the stories they've learnt across to the readers as powerfully as possible, and they succeed every time.
