Publication Plan

This is the information about my music magazine.

Title: ROCK
Positioning statement: Dare To Be Deafened
Frequency of publication: Weekly
Price: £2 (Although my questionnaire showed that £3-4 was a reasonable price, it is too expensive for a weekly music magazine. My target audience won't be able to afford to buy it every week.)
Distribution: Supermarkets, newsagents, music shops e.g. HMV
Rationale: The appraoch of the magazine is to relate to fans and get involved and personal with bands, so that readers feel like they've met them. It will appeal to young people who are more open to different aspects of rock music.
Style: Informal, slang, laid back, exciting, short paragraphs, relevant images, consistent colours.
