My music magazine will be priced at £2.50 per issue. This is
so that it is not too expensive so that more people buy it. From my research I
gathered that most music magazines cost around £2-£4 and the more well known
magazines cost around £4-£6.
This magazine will be published weekly. This would allow for
a weekly article to be written for readers to enjoy.
Each issue of my music magazine will have roughly 45 pages.
This is just enough so that people do not get bored. My research showed me that
most of the best selling music magazines are published monthly rather than
weekly. However when I asked people what they would choose the majority said
they would prefer the magazineto be published weekly.
Regular content in this magazine will be things that most
music magazines in the media have, interviews. My interviews for my magazine
will be about up-coming artists. In my interviews I would ask the up-coming
artists about their influences and where they hope to be and who they hope to
be as big as in the future. More regular content in my magazine will be the top
10 albums that have been sold that month and also the top 10 tracks that have
been listened to that week. Many music magazines show what songs and albums
everyone is listening to and buying.
The feature articles in my magazine will be holiday themed.
I have found that a lot of magazines do this. The holiday themed magazine will
contain all the regular content but it will be decorated with spooky pictures.
There will also be a feature article in this magazine about what events are
taking place on Halloween night. A Christmas special would contain regular
content and the feature article would be a top 10 list of ‘your favourite’
Christmas songs ever. Readers of the magazine will be able to vote online for
their favourite Christmas song. This will be advertised in the magazine about a month before this magazine is sold.
