Research and things I need to do

• Decide which magazines to look at, and to what extent publishing companies are involved. I think they should be, the question seems to dictate so
  do lifestyle magazines demonstrate manipulative techniques in order to ensure their own prosperity
  should I add some focus on publishers?
  do the publishers of general lifestyle magazines use manipulative techniques in order to ensure their own prosperity

• Is the question right? maybe i should have a title and subheading 
• Read correct chapters of texts, magazine books, find books about publishers? Abandon celebrity culture books, less useful, find books about all magazines rather than just womens magazines
• Do i have a stance? Like a theory or whatever, like a feminist reading of blah blah, do i need one? 
• Buy magazines and first hand analyse them 
• Research bosses of publishing companies, lives, histories, bias
• Research deeper into histories of selected magazines,
• Draw from other magazines, add to body of work with smaller preparatory images on other magazines
• Research manipulation techniques, use of language, language and gender, persuasion etc.
• Research history of yellow journalism
• Research validity of stories comparatively
• Research target audiences for each, ask about their interest in chosen magazine and its topics, do the magazines actually reflect the interests of the people or do the people reflect the dictation of the magazines. 
• Plan how this will be structured, current thoughts are:
   a chapter about the magazine industry as a whole and the history of the chosen magazine, context and such,
  a chapter for comparing and analysing cosmo and esquire,
  a chapter comparing the two trashies, both first hand research backed up with theories of language and gender and manipulation etc.
  then maybe another chapter on the influence these publications have and examples of it existing quotes backing up that it infultrates our conciousness blah blah balh,
  or maybe a part about how its beginning to lose its impact? and the transfer of much of this information to the internet?
  decrease in sales since online content has become increasingly popular, which in turn would lead to the same content being even more influential than it previously was in its print form
