Publication Plan

Title: Vex
Positioning statement: Go crazy with rock


Frequency of publication: Monthly
Price: £2.70


Distribution: Newsagents and supermarkets, Music shops (e.g. HMV), Instrument shops.


Rationale: The approach of the magazine is very much to please the fans and give them information on what they want to hear about. We will give opinions and reviews and the articles will focus very much on the information that the readers want to know.


Style: Informal using humour. The magazine is generally for teens-young adults so the language will not be too advanced but easy to read and relevant to the magazine genre. It will follow Red top tabloid style of presentation; short paragraphs and slang.
