Final Ideas

I have decided to price my magazine at £1.80 because my target audience is starting from a young age, therefore they may not be willing to pay a lot of money to buy this magazine.
Also for the frequency of publication I will publish my magazine fortnightly
The average issue size will be 120 pages,
The regular content will be an editor’s letter, the latest news, chart entries and competitions and letters from readers.
The feature articles will be interviews with new pop stars.
