Quick Plan of Double Page

Here's an example on what I mean:

The only thing that I don't like, is that it doesn't seep through the next page, like I want mine to be like.
On my example I don't think i'll have the pictures on the right page or the white book mark thing on the right hand side.

How does the magazine industry work?

We see magazines everywhere, whether they're a music magazine, a photo magazines or just full of plain gossip like "Hello" and "Heat". We may see these magazines everyday, but what you have to remember is that, they won't be there to fill in your entertainment or whatever they end up doing for you, without a team of:
Editors
Advertisement
Distributors
And many more..
And of course, magazines won't be on shop shelves if it wasn't for the lovely audience that buys them.

Lets start from the beginning, when you first pick up a magazine, normally the first thing that attracts a person to the magazine is the image, masthead or side-lines. This is down to the editors and photographers. There job is to obviously edit the magazine, to make sure that it isn't boring and colourless. "The responsibilities of the role of an editor can include on generating ideas for features, editing and proof reading, managing writing staff and liaising with artists and photographers".

In magazines, if you flick through, you will find an advert at least 15 times or more, they normally take up the whole page. In the past, advertisers relied on magazines to deliver their ads to the buying public, this is because it is less expensive for the company to publish than running an ad on national T.V or Radio. The ads are almost presented like a poster, here is an example of one:

This is a powerful advertisement  because it's double page spread, it will be more likely for people to witness this. Someone might be thinking about buying a car and then they see this deal and then they take it from there. It isn't just cars, oh no. Most of the time in a woman's gossip magazine you will find adverts of:

• Chocolate
• Washing Machine Powder or Gell
• Car
• Hair products
• Skin Care

And many more... 

Advertisement almost works to subject to the target audience, that was just one example of a stereotype of a woman's magazine advertisement, there we can paint a picture on what our audience likes and doesn't like.

Of course the magazine won't work and be out on the shelfs in supermarkets, if it wasn't for the audience. Thanks to the audience, the magazine know what people want, they help fill in surveys on how to make the magazine better and more efficient.

In the legal responsibilities, one of there jobs is to take there own pictures, so the magazine has the right to that image and so they don't get done for copy right if they use a picture that they have found on the internet and then using it in the magazine, without the original owners permission.

Defining your audience

Legal Responsibilities Journalists Have?

According to a website that I found, journalists have three basic responsibilities.

One of them is social responsibilities, this basically means on how the press reflect on the social images that are presented in our society. They need to make sure that the images are fair, truthful, inspiring and that they meet the needs of common consumers of the news. They usually high-light unsolved areas of the society, they have to make sure that they don't overlook or avoid a part of responsibility towards the society.
They should make an environment basis of understanding within the society and continue the same in an orderly manner, mainly so it satisfies everyone.

Another one is the legal responsibilities  this one is simple, they need to make sure that they don't plagiarise anyone else's work, pictures (meaning that they need to get permission to use the picture from the original creator). They can not inflict on anyone's privacy or confide in a matter until it is brought notice to the public. Definitely NO hacking into anyone's phones, computers or any other electrical equipment (kind of basic, unless you want another BBC incident).

The last one is professional responsibilities, this is where a journalist should have "sincerity and commitment" towards the profession. Any news of any event that is or will be published to the audience must be "delineated" (describing or portraying something precisely)  clearly and fairly. The presentation must be truthful, they can not be bias and must not bring any embarrassment to the organization that will complicate things in the future. "They have to report a fair and undistorted report to the audience instead of crowding them intentially or allegedly to meet the present challenging situation of the news world".
