Aim: To Consider How Magazine Staff are Divided in Terms of Skills and to Identify Which Skills are Needed to do Particular Jobs.

The Publishing Industry As A Whole Employs Over 195,000 People!
50,000 People Work In Journals and Magazines
 - See http://www.creativeskillset.org
 - YouTube The Channel 'The Intern Book' (No Spaces!)



There Aren't Really Any Differences In The Jobs, They Both Have Similar Job Roles e.g. Editor & Advertising Sales Director.

Both Magazines Word Their Staff Differently Therefore It Is Quite Hard To Compare The Different Jobs.

The Q Magazine, Which Is The Set Of 3 Pictures Has Many More People Listed, Whereas Metal Hammer Seems To List Just The Most Important People. For Example;
Q EDITORIAL: Editor, Senior Editor, Art Editor and About 6 Other Ones.
METAL HAMMER EDITORIAL: Editor, Production Editor - More General.

Both Magazines




What Are The Responsibilities Of The Chief Editor?

 - Making Sure Everything Is Done In Time For The Deadline!
 - Check Grammar/Spelling Is PERFECT!
 - Budget Control
 - Managing Staff
 - Attend Functions/Awards Ceremonies
 - They Are 'The Face' Of The Magazine!
 - Leads Meetings
 - Decide On Theme For Everyone To Follow
 - Legal Decisions
 - Keeps Contact Details
 - Editorial Calendar
 - Strategic Planning
 - Motivating Team
