• ‘VOLUME’ which is my magazine , is based on popular acoustic artists of
the 21st centuary, my magazine includes interviews and features and gives
an insight of live of a successful artist. Tour dates and also includes a top
10 hits of the week.
• My article requiers meeting the artist as my article is structured as a Q&A
and also interviews.
• These factors mean that my magazine would need quite a high budget
however would have a wide audience as the magazine is based on
trending news.
6. Who would publish and distribute my
magazine?
Anthem publishing are a music making magazine publisher
based in bath
Anthem publishing covers a wide range of music from there vast
range of magazines like ‘vintage rock’ to ‘guitar and bass’
Although they have a guitar and bass magazine I do not think
they cover the acoustic genre like my magazine as mine is
recent artists and also trending news because of this I think they
would be intrested in my magazine because i could widen there
target audience by involving a younger age group to what there
current magazines target .
