Here is my pitch for my magazine that I shall be making!

1. Pitch for my magazine that I will
make: BTEC Level 3 Media
Pictured centre: Paul
Castellano, former
boss of the Gambino
Crime Family. He’d be
someone I’d write
about for my
magazine.

2. What is my magazine about?
• My magazine will be a magazine about crime. It’ll have information
on modern day criminals and what they’re up too today and it will
have almost a ‘history’ section, where it talks about past criminals
and how they operated, what they did and how they met their end.
• It’ll also have explanations on types of criminal acts, eg: there’ll be a
mini section on the topic of money laundering.
• To conclude: this magazine will solely be about every aspect of crime.

3. Target audience
• The audience for my magazine will be varied. I want people of all ages
to read my magazine.
• If I include criminals from different generations then it will attract
people from that generation or it’ll attract people who want to learn
about historical figures.
• So I don’t have a set target audience, my audience is everyone who is
interested in the subject of crime.

4. Example of an article
• In this months edition of Mafia Month we will be focusing on the
murderous Roy DeMeo, the Gambino soldier headed a crew consisted
of psychopathic murders. The DeMeo Crew killed around 200 people.
• This is an example of a segment I’d have in my magazine, mafia month
where I’d focus on a mobster from the past.
Roy DeMeo, who
headed the infamous
DeMeo Crew.

5. Other details
• I would release my magazine monthly (12 issues a year)
• It would be around £5 which I feel is a fair price as it doesn’t come
out often which may put some people off buying but it’s only because
I prefer quality over quantity.
