Publication Plan

Title - BOOM!

Positioning Statement - Music makes it POP

Frequency Of Publication - Monthly

Price - £2.50

Distribution - Newsagents, preferably by school to attract my target audience's attention and in Supermarkets

Rationale - The approach for this pop magazine is mainly about the fans and music. It includes everything the reader wants to know about their favourite bands and artists. Also it takes into consideration their opinion.

Style - The style of the magazine will be informal, using humour to engage the audience but still focusing on key points. This magazine is for youg teenagers so it will use simple language, short paragraphs and slang following red top tabloid style of presentations and writing. Since the target audience is only young the main feature of the layout will be images to attract their attention.
