Planning and evaluation of article NME - Bloc Party

Firstly I will be using NME's article about their lead drummer Matt Tong who rumors to leave the band:

"Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong has fuelled rumours he will quit the band by hinting that he may not work with them again.

Frontman Kele Okereke recently revealed the group are set to go on a hiatus following their current tour – but Tong has implied he fancies a complete change, at least while the group are on their break.

"I definitely don't think this will be the last you'll hear of the people who make up Bloc Party," he said. "Keleis an insatiable workaholic and creating is something he is so connected to, so you'll definitely hear from him again



This piece I believe is quite a serious part as it is a main person within the band, the talented drummer Matt Tong could leave, which could shatter the band! - NME have put the band member name's in bold to help it stand out and to give the reader a clear indication of who is the members. They use quotes from the members to help give validity, and bring you with the band as it is almost like they are talking to you and telling you about what is happening. If we think about in terms of Purpose + Audience well it's quite clear. The purpose of the article is to tell people that their is rumors and worries within the band that Matt tong may be leaving as he wants something different. And the audience it is attended to is to people who are interested in indie music, especially Bloc Party!
