Planning a Music Magazine
You must produce a questionnaire which will be aimed at your target audience. The questionnaire is your way of finding out about the interests of your audience and they should then influence your planning for your magazine (see below).
Please answer the questions below on your magazine idea:
Who is your target audience?
What style, genre or time of music is your magazine about or is going to appeal to a range of music tastes?
How often will your magazine come out, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or bi-monthly?
How much will your magazine cost? Consider who your target audience is and also how often your magazine comes out.
Is your magazine going to be glossy like Q Magazine or more like a newspaper like NME?
