Music Magazine Plan

Planning A Music Magazine

      My target audience is for people aged 16-21. I have not decided what the genre it will be however I think it is likely that many genres will be used. The magazine will not have any specific gender references however I think that it may be more lenient towards males rather than female. The music I will be talking about in my magazine will be music of the present day and this is why it will be more appealing to the age group of 16-24 rather than an older audience.

       I believe that the best time to bring out this magazine will be fortnightly for a number of reasons. I believe that if you bring out a music magazine that comes out weekly there will not be enough information in the magazine for the amount of money that the reader will be willing to pay. Also if the magazine is brought out monthly there will be too much information to put in to one issue of the magazine and therefore some information will be left out and it will harm the quality of the magazine. This means that fortnightly will include the right amount of information for a more reasonable price.

      The ideal price for the magazine would be £2.99-£3.99 this is because it would give this magazine an edge over competitors as most magazines of this type are usually between one pound to two pound more than this. I also believe that people who would read this magazine could quiet easily afford to by the magazine regularly for this money.

      My magazine will be a glossy magazine for a number of reasons. One reason is that it will be more attractive to readers than over magazines which are like a news paper. Also I believe that the colour scheme will look far more attractive and eye-catching to the reader if it was a glossy magazine.
