Although online promotion is important, and can be found on sites like Youtube, Facebook, other social networking sites, and the artists websites, it is also important to be published in print. The printed versions found in magazines and news articles can be highly detailed and can often include a review or criticism about the song. Magazines are read by a lot of young fans, and get passed around to all their friends, reaching a large fan base. Advertisements can be kept for weeks or months at a time, and can be read and re-read. Not only this, but the 'limited edition products', like pens, magnets and posters encourage the consumer to purchase the magazine. These products tend to last a long time, making sure that the name of the artist is not forgotten easily.
Print can also include Biographies written by artists to tell the story of how they came to fame:
