For me Genre does not simply mean what's in a media text but also on the way it is constructed. This can be important, for example, when what type of music fans you are trying to attract, which can deal with similar subject matter, and look the same — Similar instruments — but belong to separate genres.
A media text is said to belong to a genre, as it adopts the codes and conventions of other texts in that genre, and lives up to the same expectations. Texts from different mediums may belong to the same genre but they all have their separate meanings and this is what I want to distinguish in my magazine production as it is something that is easily mistaken.
