Magazine Proposal

For my Music Magazine I want to focus on Rap/Hip-Hop. I feel this is an appropriate genre of music as it is really coming popular again. The hip-hop world has always been a controversial and interesting one and with new albums from Drake, Lil Wayne and Eminem all being released this year, there has never been a better time for a magazine like mine. With many upcoming Rap artists busting their way through the ranks of the music world, this magazine is an exciting and worthwhile investment. The audience that my magazine will be aimed towards will be 16+ as most of the albums/artists we will be reviewing will have some explicit content during their songs or interviews. My magazine is looking to be released on the 25^th of Every Month. This gives the journalists and editors enough time to produce and create the best magazine they possibly can. I feel a monthly magazine works better than weekly/fortnightly as it gives a bigger time period for more artists to release new tracks so we are always on top of the latest trends. The magazine will have four times more content and depth than a weekly mag will which will give the audience more intellectual and advance view on the world of Hip-Hop. Due to the more detail in artists and music the magazine will be charged at £5 each month which I believe to be more than reasonable for the quality of the magazine. The mag will be advertised on all of the major Hip-Hop stations in England which is appropriate for our magazine. We will also be promoting the magazine on Social Media sites such as Twitter and Facebook as they are used by more than 1/6 of the Globes Population.

My magazine will include articles such as:

·        Drakes Album Review

·        Eminem Album release information

·        New upcoming Artist
