Hannah Maddison

>INTRODUCTION

My name is Hannah Maddison and I am here

today to convince you that my ideas for a

new magazine meet your brief.

My magazine is called Thrive, and it is a health

and fitness magazine for young female adults

in the North East.

CLIENT RESEARCH

>MY BRIEF

“ “ You have been commissioned by the Northern

Echo to produce a new magazine or newspaper product. Your product could be in

any style or genre but it must be self financed through sales or advertising. You must

also produce your magazine for a specified audience segment within the 16-25 age

group.

>HOW I INTEND TO MEET THIS BRIEF To ensure I meet the brief that I have been given, I have done the following;

-  Magazine Genre

-  Intended age group

-  Self finance

-  Socioeconomic

-  Audience researchı

>CLIENT LIMITATIONS - ADVERTISEMENTS will need to be local - MODELS from the local area - LANGUAGE needs to not include taboo -  IMAGES must by appropriate

-  NEEDS to champion the North East and be relevant to the local area

>THE AUDIENCE AGE: 16-24 years old SEX: Female STATUS: In education TRIBE: Athletic SOCIOECONOMICS: BC1 audience

>SECONDARY AUDIENCE PROBLEMS

-  No taboo or slang language

-  Nothing inappropriate or offensive content towards the

audience

-  Articles that suit both primary and secondary audiences

-  Range of readership ages

-  No nudity

> PCC CONSTRAINTS The PCC have certain rules that journalists must oblige by to protect the welfare of others. This means things such as harassment, children, accuracy, discrimination, privacy, intrusion and reporting of crime. To ensure I apply to these codes set by the PCC I have made 5 golden rules…

attract primary audience.
