Publication
Plan.
Title: Revival
Positioning
statement: Bringing back the British music scene.
Frequency of
publication: Monthly
Price:
£2.70
Distribution: Newsagents, supermarkets, gigs,
tours and festivals.
Rationale:
The approach of the magazine is very much from perspective of people who
listen to Mod/Britpop genres. We will offer
opinions and insights; articles and interviews will focus very much on what the
audience want to know and ask, rather than what the music industry would want
them to know.
Style: Informal and irreverent style, using
humour but not afraid to offer strong comment on events. The magazine is for all Mod/ Britpop fans and
so will use both simple and some challenging vocabulary, following the red top
tabloid style of writing and presentation, with short paragraphs and some slang.
Images will
be the dominant feature of layouts.
