Publication Plan
Title
Positioning Statement
Making music a little louder
Frequency of Publication
Monthly
Price
£2.40
Distribution
Newsagents, supermarkets, music shops (eg. HMV), gigs of the same genre as the magazine, instrument shops
Rationale
The approach of the magazine is what the fans want to hear, rather than the record companies and management teams want us to know. This will include exclusive interviews, gig reviews and honest opinions and critisms of aspects of punk rock.
Style
The style will be informal and light-hearted, using humour and controversial statements about the latest events in music. It will reach out to a wide range of readers with different abilities meaning that the language used won't be extremely sophisticated, allowing the readers to understand everything. The presentation of articles will resemble those belonging to red top tabloids, using slang and short paragraphs.
