PUBLICATION PLAN.

Title:

Positioning Statement: Music for the people

Frequency of publication: Monthly

Price: £3.00

Distrubution: Newsagents, supermarkets and music shops

Rationale:  The approach of the magazine is very much for the audience’s perspective. We will offer opinions and insights; and articles and interviews will focus very much on what the audience want to know and ask, rather than what the music industry and management want us to read.

Style:  Informal and humourous.  As the target audience is for 15-25 year olds, the language will be simple but not too patronising, using slang in the articles and headlines so it is more appealing to the reader.

Images will be a dominant feature of layouts.
