The document outlines the publication plan for a new monthly music magazine targeting teenagers. It will be called "Blacklisted" and sold for £2.50 in newsagents, music shops, and venues. Selling in music shops and venues will generate the most revenue since that is the target audience. The magazine will have an informal, colloquial style to seem more relatable to teenagers. Regular content will include editor's letters, album and gig reviews, charts, and guides. Featured content in the first issue will be an interview with Fran Summers and articles on bands Greyscale and festival safety.

1. Publication Plan
Cover
Name:
Font: Blacklisted
Tagline: ‘blurring the boundaries of indie’
Frequency of Publication: Monthly
Price: £2.50
Distribution: My magazine will be sold in newsagents, music shops and venues. As it is a
specialist magazine selling in venues and music shops will generate the most revenue as
the people who go to gigs and shop in music shops are a part of my target audience.
Rationale: My magazine will be focused on what I believe my target audience would like in a
magazine. My target audience is teenagers so I would like to keep the magazine simple with
not too many technical terms, but I will still include some to make sure the product doesn’t
seem patronising.
Style: My magazine will have a quite informal, colloquial style as my primary target audience
is teenagers. Most teenagers appreciate the informal style as it seems relatable and more
enjoyable, whereas a very serious magazine could appear quite dull. I have decided to make
the article on my DPS an interview as this would be the easiest way to convey a colloquial
tone.
