TASK 3
MORE DECISIONS

We then had to make decisions for our magazine based on the research we done on existing magazines:

Title: Smashed (Working Title)

Positioning Statement: …

Frequency of Publication: Monthly

Price: £4.10

Distribution: Newsagents & Supermarkets

Rationale: My magazine will be very greatly from the music lover’s standpoint, written in an informal style to help the reader enjoy it more. We will present opinions, reviews, articles on things like ‘Top 50…’ as well as interviews with the latest stars, it will focus on what the music lover’s want to know about the latest albums, bands and artists rather than that of what the music promoters want people to read.
