The study makes use of data gathered from the websites and from an interview conducted with the creator of Pindie Music. It provides textual analyses of the websites, in which it is shown that Radio Republic and Pindie Music both make use of the hypermodal resources to develop presentational and orientational meaning that ultimately point to a vitality in the local music scene, and also to the subsequent encouragement of the reader or user to promote this vitality. In the succeeding comparison and contrasting of the websites, it can be seen that while the websites share a common advocacy and some hypermodal techniques in fleshing the advocacy out, Radio Republic and Pindie Music approach their readers differently. Radio Republic is more inclusive in its construction of participation in local music scene, while Pindie Music is more discriminating and presentational. However, the study is concluded with the use of theorizations about the concept of the music scene, and how they frame the enactments of the two websites as promotions of the local. It is then asserted that these commonalities and differences in technique point to the many avenues creators or producers of hypermodal or multimodal text can take when it comes to forwarding certain messages.
