Monday: How long does it take to release the magazine Hip Hop Weekly? Hip Hop Weekly is released on a weekly basis which means the producers are going to have to produce it in advance and have time to make a

judgment which celebrities will the magazine consumer wish to see and be aware of what events are occurring throughout the week. Tuesday: Researching the Editor A magazine features editor is responsible for the content and quality of their publication and ensures that stories are engaging and informative.


Most opportunities are in large publishing companies that produce a wide range of titles. These include weekly and monthly consumer or lifestyle

titles, which are commonly referred to as 'glossy' magazines. However, features editors are also employed by trade magazines, specialist publishers, online media and in-house magazines. Magazine features editors do not always need specialist knowledge of the subject they cover, unless the content is highly technical, although an

interest in the subject is usually expected. Typical work activities The role will vary according to the size of the publication and the nature of its content, but responsibilities will typically include: •overseeing the layout, appearance and content of feature articles; •generating ideas for features with writing staff; •commissioning articles from freelance and in-house writers; •managing writing staff and freelance feature writers; •editing and re-writing articles, some of which may be rejected or returned to the writer for revision; •overseeing artwork, design and photography for the features section of the magazine; •attending photo shoots; •organizing meetings with writers and artists to discuss ideas for artwork, layout and features; •negotiating payments with freelance writers; •understanding and complying with media law and industry ethical guidelines; •selecting feature articles for each issue; •sending out briefs to writers, which can include word count, deadline, fee and writing style; •proofreading all pages before going to press; •raising the profile of the magazine; •networking with others at industry events;


•assisting other staff to meet their deadlines. Wednesday: Researching the Production Process for Hip Hop Weekly Schedule of Publication: To make a schedule is one of the most important processes off making a magazine it gives the magazine structure and

organization to make a deadline and make the magazine overall a success. For example if a miss happening were to occur then the editor would be able to make a correction before releasing it on the deadline. This is essential that organization and team skills are used to make it efficient and a structured magazine.

Date of Publication: First step would be to set a publish date. After setting a publish date you can operate around the date by making a decision on

how frequent you will be releasing the magazine and incorporate a release date. Editorial and Budgetary Decisions: The editor needs to distinguish the quality of the magazine and find out the features and understand the topics

which will be discussed in the magazine and what target audience will be featured in the magazine. When the team has come to terms with what, Headings, Paragraphs, Size of the magazine, news stories, photographs and the quality of the magazine then they can converse about the budget and come to a mutual agreement. With this in mind they then discuss the money available to them and what they will do to budget it out equally intrinsic to importance.

Content Procurement: Content for magazines are essential therefore collecting the most interesting content is going to help increase your target

audience. This therefore can increase if you release limited information or if you frequently release content that is interesting for the readers. The artwork is defined as illustrations and pictures that are going to be placed in the magazine. Graphics are the pictures or images that are designed with a computer program.

Sub-editing – this is the next step to be taken. Sub editing focuses on one major thing, which is quality control. If the media organization is big

enough to have a sub-editor, then he is going to be responsible for this job; if there is no sub-editor, then the editor does this job. This step involves the following important things:

•Checking of the accuracy of all facts in the articles •Making sure that words are properly spelled •Making sure that grammar and punctuation are used correctly • Making sure that all articles follow the house-style


•Working on the page layout….. Proofreading – once the above stage has been completed, the next stage is the proofreading. The editorial department will print out a hardcopy of

the magazine for the sole purpose of reading through to find and correct any mistakes in it. It is easier to proofread a hardcopy than it is to proofread a softcopy. Any mistake that is spotted is quickly corrected on the DTP file. The editorial team keeps proofreading until every member is satisfied that all mistakes have been corrected.

File emailed to printer – After the proofreading stage, the DTP file of the entire magazine is sent to the printer whose job will be to print the

magazine. It is at this point the popular term ‘pre-press’ comes in. Pre-press is defined as the process of checking to make sure that you are sending all the fonts and images needed for the magazine with your file. Once this stage is over, the printing company takes over. But before the printing company prints the hundreds or thousands of copies requested by the publication, the company first prints a few copies and sends them to the publication’s editor for checking once again. This is called the printer’s proofs. If the editor and his team are satisfied with the printer’s proofs, then the green light is given to the printer for mass printing to commence. Each copy the printer prints is the final finished product – the magazine that readers are going to have in their hands to read.

Distribution – this is the last stage of the entire process. The printing company, having finished with the printing of the magazines will package

them neatly and send them to a warehouse. From the warehouse, the magazines are then distributed and then sold to the public. Thursday- Researching the key people involved in this process Magazine journalists research and write news articles and features for a wide variety of publications, usually periodicals, including: •consumer titles which cover both general interest and specialist areas; •customer magazines from shops, supermarkets, etc; •trade publications, also know as business-to-business (B2B) magazines. Magazine journalism can cover a range of disciplines, such as writing, interviewing, sub-editing, and designing. Increasingly, magazines are also being produced for other media, especially the web. Knowledge of the concise writing style needed for the

internet and search engine optimisation are very useful skills.


There are thousands of magazine titles in the UK and, while there are plenty of opportunities, competition can be fierce when trying to get a job. Typical work activities The nature of a journalist's work varies considerably depending on the size of the employing organisation and the subject matter covered by the

publication. It may also be affected by the medium through which the magazine is produced. Typical responsibilities can include: •researching a subject and story; •writing and editing news stories and features in the publication's house style; •ensuring work is well written, accurate and submitted to deadline; •conducting interviews, either in person or remotely; •attending seminars, conferences and fairs (some magazine publishers hold exhibitions and events to allow advertisers to meet their readership); •generating ideas for stories; •sourcing images to accompany written pieces; •meeting with colleagues to plan the content of the issue and the character of the publication; •keeping up to date with trends and developments relating to the magazine's subject matter. A production manager is involved with the planning, coordination and control of manufacturing processes. They ensure that goods and services

are produced efficiently and that the correct amount is produced at the right cost and level of quality. The scope of the job depends on the nature of the production system: •jobbing; •mass; •process; •batch production. Many companies are involved in several types of production, adding to the complexity of the job. Most production managers are responsible for

both human and material resources.


The job role is also referred to as operations manager. Typical work activities

The exact nature of the work will depend on the size of the employing organisation. However, tasks typically involve: •overseeing the production process, drawing up a production schedule; •ensuring that the production is cost effective; •making sure that products are produced on time and are of good quality; •working out the human and material resources needed; •drafting a timescale for the job; •estimating costs and setting the quality standards; •monitoring the production processes and adjusting schedules as needed; •being responsible for the selection and maintenance of equipment; •monitoring product standards and implementing quality-control programmes; •liaising among different departments, e.g. suppliers, managers; •working with managers to implement the company's policies and goals; •ensuring that health and safety guidelines are followed; •supervising and motivating a team of workers; •reviewing worker performance; •identifying training needs.
