The journalist is using words to create a tone, and impact and communicate their ideas. They use a lot of quotes that the person they are reviewing has said before. For example, in the Kacey Musgraves article they include quotes she said such as “ maybe for a minute I got too big for my britches”. Including quotes that the person you were reviewing said makes the article come more to life. It makes the audience feel that they or a part of this conversation. Using quotes also help explain the topic in depth and provide a framework for a certain idea. However, I have also read that some quotations can clutter your texts and interrupt the flow of your article. So it is important to not overuse quotes.
Another technique I have noticed and some of the examples provided is that they tend to use passed information on the person they are reviewing. For example, in Hudson Mohawkes review they say “ back when Hudson was crafting bombastic synth scapes in his moms Glasgow basement in the 2000s….” using this past information about the person the author is reviewing allows the audience to create some sort of connection to the person they are talking about. Once the audience feels a connection they will want to read more of this magazine and the sales will go up. The author tends to include drama or information that most people don’t already know to create a larger audience for their piece in the magazine. They also slightly include Their opinion on the topic they are discussing to create controversy within the article. https://cpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.grammar.sch.gg/dist/e/5/files/2018/01/Reviews-2jn9ai6.pdf
