This document outlines a production plan for a magazine across 4 weeks. It details the key tasks for each day including setting a publication date, managing the schedule, making editorial decisions, acquiring content through interviews and writing, sub-editing, page layout, proofreading, sending files to the printer, distribution and more. The goal is to have the magazine printed and ready for distribution by December 16th. An attempt was also made to contact Townsquare Media to discuss distribution of the printed magazines.
