TITLE: NOTICE

POSITIONING STATEMENT: Everything you want to know about music

FREQUENCY OF PUBLICATION: Weekly

PRICE: £1.90

RATIONALE: The aim of my magazine is to focus on what the readers would want to know about bands and to include opinions on each article that is published. We will offer a new band to be interviewed every week and have a write in section where the readers can give ideas on who could be interviewed next week.

STYLE: An informal style of writing will be used as the target audience would want to be addressed how they speak and not very formally. The magazine is for all indie followers and will use terms associated with this music genre which is simple to understand.
