Survey Monkey Evidence

Overall the majority of
people thought that my
pitch was rated at a 8/10.
This could be improved as
shown in the next slide.

kOJXza3C28_3D
One way that the pitch
could be improved is
through going into more
detail. This is because I was
mainly reading off of slides
and did not, therefore
provide enough detail of
the target audience.
Another way was through
changing my speech clarity
and speed of pace.

kOJXza3C28_3D
The front cover had some
changes that could be
made.
The main idea was to add
more to the cover lines and
make them stand out
more, in a neater way.

kOJXza3C28_3D
The DPS had some changes
that could be made.
The suggestions were to
add more text and content
on both pages and allow
the page to have little
white space.

kOJXza3C28_3D
The back cover had some
changes that could be
made.
The idea that stood out to
me was to make the back
page a promotion. This
would add more to the
page than just a quote.

Pitch Improvements
I made some improvements from the feedback I was given from my
pitch. The following slides show the changes made to the front cover,
DPS and back cover. The changes have made the magazine include
conventions to entice the audience to read the magazine. The size and
positioning of the cover lines also help to achieve this.
The DPS also looks a lot better as the text is distributed in a way that
looks easier to read as an interview rather than a large block of text.
The back cover is an advert now, this is due to that fact that most
magazine back pages are advertisements for something rather than a
quote from the main celebrities.

Production Plan for Chosen Magazine

Calendar Events
• The magazine will be distributed on the first and third Saturday of the
month, encouraging consistency as there will be at least three
Saturdays in each month and this means that there will be
• Release date January 2019, this provides a new feel of the magazine
and also means that there can be a feature page of predictions of the
new year in pop music. This magazine will also gain more sales as
people generally have the “new year, new me” idea of the following
year. This can mean that people want to know more about pop music
in 2019 and so they will buy the magazine.

Watermarking
Digital watermarking is a way to indicate who the creation is owned by
and can track any copyright infringements. It is hidden within the
product when the creation is digitally produced.
https://www.techopedia.com/definition/24927/digital-watermarking

Copyright and IP
IP is Intellectual Property and protected by law, this includes copyright. It gives the
creators the rights to the property of their creation, and creates economic incentive
for creators as they profit from their creation when they sell it to another owner.
https://www.gov.uk/intellectual-property-an-overview
“the legal right to control the production and selling of a book, play, film,
photograph, or piece of music”
Copyright is a automatic legal right that protects pieces of work for a certain
amount of years. In Q, this could be the images in the magazine, the written words
of the articles, the design and strapline of the magazine.
A royalty payment is made by someone in order to gain the right for ongoing use of
that copyrighted work. They are usually an agreed percentage of the gross revenue
created after the copyrighted work is used.

Data Protection Act 1988
The magazine has to follow the data protection principles, this makes sure that sensitive information of
their staff, clients, interviewees and other personnel, is
• used fairly, lawfully and transparently
• used for specified, explicit purposes
• used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary
• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
• kept for no longer than is necessary
• handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised
processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
This means that all data collected from their clients through subscription application, cannot be used for
anything that the customer has not agreed to, and can only be used when is necessary, it also means that
the magazine must remove their data if they stop their subscription to the magazine.
They must never give any personal data to any other organisation or personnel unless agreed by the
customer.

Legal and Ethical Issues
The IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation), has the rules for
editors called the Editors Code of Practice.
This set of rules focuses on the Accuracy, Privacy, Harassment, Intrusion into
grief or shock, Reporting Suicide, Children, Children in sex cases, Hospitals,
Reporting of Crime, Clandestine devices and subterfuge, Victims of sexual
assault, Discrimination, Financial journalism, Confidential sources, Witness
payments in criminal trials, Payments to criminals, The Public Interest.
The code of practice goes into more detail on each of these categories, as
shown in the following slides.
This used to be the PCC (Press Complaints Commission) but has since been
taken over by the ISPO.
