For my music magazine, my first ideas was Pop or British Music. I have chosen to do Pop because I think they're is more variety at the moment and more to say about.
My initial plans for price are around £2.00 but I will questionnaire people on how much they're willing to pay for this. Frequency of publication, I first debated monthly or weekly and then chose to do every fortnight for an avergae of these, this gives enough chance to get music news and enough time to produce it without the news going out of date. This also means the pages will be average around 30 because it's not too big without it being too small.
Regular content will include regular feature articles, advertising, dates of concerts coming up, reviews of new albums, new and upcoming music, chart top 40 of singles and albums.
Feature articles.....
Kerrang comes out weekly, the average age is 22 for their readers. With gender being 41% female and 59% male. Their readership is 396,000 and circulation is 44,013. It costs £2.20. http://www.kerrang.com/
Kerrang has around 70-100 pages.
Q magazine is published. The target audience 15-25, 33% being female and 66% being female. Their readeship is 411,000 and circulation is 64,596. http://www.qthemusic.com/
The feature article for NME is Rihanna on this cover which is ther cover stae on the cover, taking up the whole of the background. This would also engage reader if they saw her and were a Rihanna fan it would mean that they'd be drawn to buy this magazine, so they use cover stars who are big in the news recently. Q has between 150-200 pages.
For NME the launch date was 1952, this magazine is produced every week with a taget audience of 15-34 with more being males. The price for this is £2.40. http://www.nme.com/magazine
Also on the front cover, it says 'THE STATE OF MUSIC TODAY' with a list of music artists/bands, this would encourage readers to buy the magazine to see what it was discussing and the story behind this headline. NME has about 30-60 pages.
