Here are the key points I would highlight in a data protection policy for the magazine:
- Any personal data collected from readers, contributors, or members of the public will be stored securely and only accessed by authorized staff.
- Photographs will not include any private details like home addresses without consent. Public figures may be photographed in public places but not in ways that compromise privacy.
- Readers' contact details and subscription information will only be used to communicate with them about the magazine and will not be shared with third parties without permission.
- Physical records with personal data like contributor contact sheets will be kept securely in a locked cabinet or safe. Digital records will be password-protected.
- Staff will be trained on
2. Production Process
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Setting up a date
for publication is
the is the first
thing that is
needed as this
will give the team
a deadline to
work to. A budget
also needs to be
discussed to
ensure that when
the magazine is
published, there
are profits being
made and not
losses
The team will all
come together to
decide what
content and
topics will be in
the magazine,
what main stories
are going around
at the moment
and also what the
biggest story is
that will make the
front cover.

and that they give
the right brand
identity.
At this stage in
production,
layout staff will
start to put
together the
layout of the
magazine. This
will be done using
programs such as
‘InDesign’ and
PageMaker’. The
adverts from the
decided
companies also

5. Offensive language
I am going to ensure that there is no offensive language within my
magazine. This is any language that is likely to be upsetting, insulting,
or objectionable to some or most people. A prime example of this
would be swearing and racism.
As shown in the pictures below, I have made sure that none of my
cover lines or pull quotes have any sort of offence in them. If any of
my content did show any offence I could risk having readers sue me,
this would not look good on my magazine company or myself.
6. Whiteness statement
Below is my whiteness statement that got filled out as I was conduction my
pitch. This whiteness statements highlights to me any changes that I need to
make to my pitch that could make it better than it was.
7. Corrections to photoshop work
The only thing that I would need to change
within my magazine is the opacity of the G. This
would make the interview easier to read as at
the moment some words are a little bit difficult.
8. Corrections to pitch
To improve my pitch there is a couple things that I needed to change on order to
do this. There were two things missing from my pitch that were pointed out to
me in the whiteness statement, this is the location recce and the profit and loss
breakdown. To insure my pitch is completed and to a high standard I will add in
these two slides. Below is evidence that I have added them into my pitch.
10. Calendar Events
When my magazine is available to the public on Friday the 19th March 2018, there are no
events scheduled which could affect people buying my magazine. This is good as none of
my target audience will be distracted by anything such as music concerts and new films
being released for example. It would also be the middle of the month, people would still
have money left from their last pay day which they would be able to spend on buying my
magazine. Being released on a Monday is also a good time as it is the start of a new week
and some people might be looking to try something new. It also gives my target audience
time to read it.
11. Profit and loss break down
£657,034.24 – £70,000 = £587,034.24
£657,034.24 includes all the equipment costs and staff costs.
£70,000 is how much I will make by selling 20,000 magazines at £3.50
each.
12. Risk assement
Even though it would
only be small risks, I
still had to think
about these and
highlight them as I
would then able to
look out for these
risks or hazards and
try to prevent them
from happening.

To enable my magazine to come out successfully and looking professional I will
need a Publisher. A publisher is a company or person that prepares and issues
books, journals, magazines or music for sale to the public. I will also need
Editors and Graphic Designers. Editors are the people that determine and are
in charge of the final content of a newspaper, magazine or book. Graphic
designers are people who have skill to mix both text and pictures to look
appealing to then go into magazines, advertisements and books. This can be
physically or digitally. The next set of staff I need are Journalists, Writers and
Photographers. Journalists are the people who write for the magazine,
newspapers, news websites or prepare news to be broadcast. Writers are the
people who write books, stories and most importantly the interviews for a
magazine or newspaper. Photographers are the people who will take the
photos to go into advertisements, magazines, newspapers and so on.
Photographers can be self- employed or employed by a company. Staff will be
needed in Marketing and Advertising. The staff in marketing would be dealing
with getting the product, in this case my magazine, out there for the public to
buy and making the next issue sell more than the previous one. This would be
done by advertising it on platforms such as social media, including in the advert
who will be included in the next issue. This will attract more people to buy my
magazine. Advertising plays a similar roll as they will be advertising the
magazine on social media websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and
Snapchat. Finally the last set of staff I would need are people in Finance and
people in Human Resources. The Finance team are in charge of all of the
money side of things throughout the company, this includes planning,
organising and controlling all of the companies finances so that the company
does not run out of money. Human Resources deal with administration, hiring
staff and the training of any staff.
18. Printing Quotes and Cost
To print my magazine, per copy, it
would cost £15.40 with a delivery fee
of £4.96. This makes an overall total of
£18.47 per magazine. I used this
information for 20,000 copies of my
magazine, to be printed and delivered
it would cost £10,090.97 overall.
(£8.409.14 for the printing of my
magazine and £683.10 for delivery.

19. Royalties is when a magazine has included some content which is copyrighted and
if another company includes any of this copyrighted content then the company
who have used it have to pay money to the original magazine.
• The NLA are a newspaper licensing company which sell copying licenses to
newspapers and magazine contents. They also ensure that all publishers get their
royalties.
Source: http://www.nlamediaaccess.com/default.aspx?tabid=126
Royalties
I would ensure that my magazine buys a copy writing license from the NLA as this
will ensure that my magazine has some extra protection. It will also ensure that if
anything gets copied from my magazine then I will be able to claim royalties on it.
20. Water Marking
Watermarking is a way of protecting your own
material. This is essential for magazines as they
pay a lot of money to get professional
photographs and to have them all published
within their magazine, therefore they would not
want people just using them either as their own
or without giving the magazine some credit.
21. Data protection - legal control over access to and use of data
stored in computers.
As an example of a breach of data protection, if a celebrity got
photographed at their front door with the house number and
name of road visible I the picture, this would be breaching
data protection as member of the public who would see this
image would then know where the celerity lived and they
would start to go to extreme measures such as stalking them.
Even printing of another persons date of birth is breaching
data protection.

29. Google forms feedback
As proven here 75% of people preferred ‘A’ and 50%
of people like the main image the most
30. As proven here 75% of people preferred ‘A’ and there
was an equal split of what was liked most about the
DPS. 25% liked the interview, 25% liked the image,
25% liked the pull quote and finally 25% liked other
31. As proven here 75% of people would think about buying my magazine and 25% would buy
it. 75% of people said that I presented my magazine ideas well and 25% of people said it
could have been better. If I was to do another pitch I would ensure that I had more
confidence when talking about my magazine and I might consider having some queue
cards so that I do not rely on the PowerPoint itself.
