The editors
would need to
pick a date
which would be
for publication.
Then all the
finance staff will
have to consult
on how much
they have as a
budget.
Once the editors
know how much
they have as a
budget, they need
to think on what
the magazine will
include.
The editors will
continue to decide
on content but if
there are any final
decisions then
they need to get
journalists to go
and do interviews.
Journalists go to
interview any
artists or who is
featured in the
magazine.
Journalists carry on
their work and any
researchers can get any
more information they
need.
